In a Blow to Fans of Franz Kafka

Magistrate Judge Schenkier of the Chicago Federal Court has ruled that the government must tell people if they are on the federal terrorism watch list.

The government argued that telling people that they were on the list would reveal state secrets.

Of course when people have petitioned the courts to be removed from the list, the government has argued that they have no standing, because they don't know if they are on the watch list.

I think that the body cavity searches are a pretty good indicator though.
