Removal from "No-Fly" List
One person has finally succeeded in getting off the No-Fly list after a seven year battle. I wonder how much it cost.

From Uncle Sam, not from Ibrahim. Her work was Sonny Bono 
"Ibrahim's pro bono attorney, Elizabeth Pipkin, has asked for the government to pay more than $3.5 million to cover her legal fees and costs. Alsup didn't rule on that motion, but said that the issue was "not easy," while indicating that Pipkin is unlikely to be entitled to such a large payout."

The sad thing is that would be the kind of excuse the government can and does use to lawfully continue this administrative blacklist nonsense.

"The one person who was removed from the blacklist is in no way representative of the 40,000 potential terrorists that we track every day..."

I thought that everyone who wanted to travel on commercial airliners was a "potential terrorist."
