It certainly is. Extortion and blackmail are wrong, and the ACLU is
engaging in these activities. Jeppesen is a private company, run by

No, Jepp is NOT a private company. Boeing is a publicly traded
corporation, in which anyone may purchase stock. It is a public
corporation, incorporated in Delaware, stock symbol BA.


I'm willing to bet he ment private company as in not a part of the
government.

Replacing "private" in his comment with non-governmental or even blank space
doesn't change the fact that he is right.
