Court Responds to EPIC Petition, Expects Body Scanner Rule by March 2013

Posted on September 27, 2012 by pogowasright.org

How many times will the courts bend over for TSA at our expense?  EPIC reports:

The Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit has issued a ruling on EPIC’s recent petition regarding the controversial body scanner program. EPIC had urged the court to require the Secretary of Homeland Security to begin a public comment process or suspend the program. The agency said it might “finalize documents” by February 2013. The court said it expected the agency to begin the process before the end of March 2013. In July 2011 the court ordered the agency to “promptly” begin the process. For more information, see: EPIC v. DHS (Suspension of Body Scanner Program)

A little less deference to government and a bit more deference to our privacy and civil liberties, please, Your Honor.
