Tomorrow John Gilmore gets a hearing on Gilmore v. Gonzales. On the fourth of July 2002 John attempted to board an airplane, was told he must show identification, refused to do so, and was denied entry to the aircraft. He has not flown since. Instead, he sued.

The hearing will be

December 8th 2005 at 9am
9th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals
Third Floor, Courtroom 3
95 Seventh Street
San Francisco, CA 94103

If you are familiar with the case and will be in San Francisco, it would be worth attending, especially if you’re interested in helping elminate what Cory Doctorow calls "a back-door to mandating Soviet-style internal passports for travel."
