I found the writing for Shore's lines well below the norm for Boston Legal. The registered flyer solution was particularly disappointing, perhaps even uncharacteristic of Shore.

The DHS officials defense sounded like the writers copied quotes we've seen posted here, they said everything but "think of the children". The judge was great, she shot down the DHS. Alan Shore was ok, made some good points (which also could have been lifted from threads here) but he got weak when he suggested the registered flyer ID solution.
Maybe the writers did some research here? However, the concept of suing the TSA and DHS for not removing you from the do-not-fly list, and a judge deciding in your favor is pure fantasy. Those agencies are above the law, above the constitution, and above the jurisdiction of the courts. (which quite possibly makes them un-American, and perhaps even anti-American)
