Moving across borders and air travel can bring to light issues and problems not regularly dealt with prior to 9/11. Placement on TSA No Fly List, prolonged and frequent detentions crossing borders, and seizure of goods and monies when entering the country by Customs officials can be a source of not only frustration, but of curtailment of one's freedom of movement and ability to travel. It may place in jeopardy one's livelihood if international travel is an element of one's job or profession. For US and non-US citizens alike, challenges in travel are issues under the rubric of national security law that the firm of Swift and McDonald deal with on a regular basis.
The crossing of borders is a unique area of law enforcement where the standard rules of constitutional rights are significantly curtailed. The discovery that one is on a "No Fly List" can be the precursor to a whole chain of events that may severely impact one's life. Seizure of goods upon entry to the US can have devastating impacts. Swift & McDonald can help you navigate the delicate issues of border crossings, "No Fly List" designations, or seizure of items by Customs.
