---wikisource|Gilmore v. Gonzales Opinion "Gilmore v. Gonzales", [http://bulk.resource.org/courts.gov/c/F3/435/435.F3d.1125.04-15736.html 435 F.3d 1125] (9th Cir. 2006), was a lawsuit filed by John Gilmore [cite news | first= Bob | last= Egelko | title= Judges cool to ID complaint | url= http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2005/12/09/BAGR9G53C01.DTL | work= San Francisco Chronicle | date= 2005-12-09 | accessdate=2008-06-11 ] against various United States executive and independent agencies and departments, and United Airlines. 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. 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, [cite news | first= Bob | last= Egelko | title= Man who wouldn't show ID at airport loses appeal | url= http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2006/01/27/BAGNBGTOOT1.DTL | work= San Francisco Chronicle | date= 2006-01-27 | accessdate=2008-06-11 ] 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.

Gilmore petitioned for certiorari to the U.S. Supreme Court, but in January 2007 the court declined to hear the case. [cite news | first= Bob | last= Egelko | title= Supreme Court rejects ID challenge | url= http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2007/01/09/BAG1VNDV8S1.DTL | work= San Francisco Chronicle | date= 2007-01-09 | accessdate=2008-06-11 ] As a result, the case is common law for the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
