What does it take to wind up on the Transportation Security Administration's no-fly list?
Ask Walter F. Murphy, a professor emeritus at Princeton University.

On March 1, Professor Murphy ? a retired Marine Colonel and Korean War veteran ? discovered that his name was on a Terrorist Watch List when he tried to check in for a flight to New Jersey.

Setting aside his astonishment, Murphy asked how this happened, only to be asked an even more astonishing question: "Have you been in any peace marches? We ban a lot of people from flying because of that." Murphy replied that hadn't, but that he had delivered a well-publicized lecture at Princeton ?highly critical of George Bush for his many violations of the Constitution.?

"That'll do it," the official commented.

Recounting this incident, Murphy understandably said he is ?furious that any American citizen would be singled out for governmental harassment because he or she criticized any elected official....?

It's also revealing that this has become standard practice under the Bush administration.

Let us stand fast in the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
