ACLU Sues Feds Over No-Fly List

It's no secret that the TSA is keeping a list and checking it twice, hoping to find who's naughty or nice. And as far as the American Civil Liberties Union is concerned, therein lies the rub. The ACLU Tuesday sued the TSA on behalf of seven airline passengers the civil liberties group says have been wrongly placed on the so-called "do not fly" list.

AD NUMBER: 2004-07-18 MANUFACTURER: Bombardier SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2004-07-18 SUMMARY: This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Bombardier Model CL-600-2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 & 440) airplanes, that requires replacement of landing gear control handle components with new, improved components. This action is necessary to prevent an inability to lower or retract the landing gear using the landing gear control handle, which could result in use of Emergency Procedures using the landing gear manual release. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.
