No-fly list trial: Court awards fees on government attorneys’ bad faith

This, right here, is why it is very important to keep unilateral powers away from government by any means necessary. The idea that government, made of people, is going to operate in good faith and not cover-your-ass mode is a joke.

I've had to deal with numerous similar situations. My saving grace is that I make decent money so I can afford to penalize them.

but all those Hollywood movies told us that keeping aliens or some other crazy threat from public served well to prevent mass panic while the good guys did the needful to save the day!

Secret laws are bad. And besides, how we have a democracy if their are some BS ridden from the public eye? And also, the bad guys prebvial after the government fails. If you want a counter example see Half Life series.
