Ooops, I quoted the wrong post. I was talking about the one before yours.

There are a few national-security situations which override normal due process considerations. The usual circumstance involves the need to keep national intelligence means and sources classified. The defendant and his lawyer are probably not cleared to even know the details of where the info came from, and in most cases could not be trusted.

Of course this should be limited only to those cases in which there are actual classified sources at stake, and not be carte-blanche for government agencies to do whatever they like with no accountability.

In the case of TSA revoking certs with limited appeal, I don't agree with that. There should be an independent review body to at least take a second look, even if you cannot give the defendant all the details.

Ultimately piloting is a privilege, not a right, so our certs do not enjoy the same protections as our life, liberty, etc.
