Wired has a piece on millionaire John Gilmore’s fight against the Feds’ insistence on papers checks when we travel. Even more disturbing is that the actual rule — which isn’t a law — the Feds cite is classified, so they maintain we have to live by it, but they don’t have to show it to us. How’s that again?

So far, the government has refused to show Gilmore the order compelling airlines to ask for identification, saying that the rule is “sensitive security information,” a security designation that was greatly expanded by Congress in 2002, allowing the Transportation Security Administration wide latitude to withhold information from the public.
