Gilmore v. Gonzales
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gilmore v. Gonzales is a lawsuit filed by John Gilmore against the United States Department of Justice. Gilmore claimed that being required to show identification in order to travel inside the country is unconstitutional. Gilmore also took issue with the secrecy concerning the reasoning behind this edict.
Judges sided against Gilmore, ruling that people can still travel without identification, provided that the individual in question be placed through more stringent security measures. Furthermore, the specific law requiring that airline travelers display identification has been allowed to remain ambiguous.
