12(b)1 is a citation to the federal rules of civil procedure.

In order for any action to go forward a plaintiff has to be able to plead an injury-in-fact. Here it would be the lagen has not pleaded that he has either traveled this year or plans to travel this year.

This standing argument is more of a face slap to P's lawyers for forgetting to plead standing. In short P's attorneys make a rookie mistake.
