Gilmore v. Gonzales, 435 F.3d 1125 (9th Cir. 2006), was a lawsuit filed by John Gilmore[1] against various United States executive and independent agencies and departments, and United Airlines. Year 2006 ( MMVI) was a Common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. John Gilmore is one of the founders of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the Cypherpunks mailing list and Cygnus Solutions. The United States of America —commonly referred to as the The United States federal executive departments are among the oldest primary units of the Executive branch of the Federal government of the United States &mdashthe Independent agencies of the United States government are those that exist outside of the departments of the Executive branch. United Air Lines Inc, trading as United Airlines ( is a major airline of the United States. Gilmore claimed that being required to show identification in order to travel by plane inside the country is an unconstitutional restriction of his rights to travel, to petition government, and to speak anonymously. An identity document, also called a piece of identification ( ID) is a document used to verify aspects of a person's Identity. Constitutionality is the status of a law, a procedure or an act's accordance with the laws or guidelines set forth in the applicable Constitution. Gilmore also complained about being subject to "secret law," when the airlines and government refused to show the directive under which they were requesting ID.
The district court and Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals sided against Gilmore,[2] holding there was no constitutional violation because air passengers can still travel without identification if they instead undergo the more stringent "secondary screening" search. While the court saw the Security Directive in camera, the public still has not been permitted to see the text. In Camera was a musical project of Andrew Gray, who later formed The Wolfgang Press.
Gilmore petitioned for certiorari to the U.S. Supreme Court, but in January, 2007 the court declined to hear the case.
