"Standing" is a horrible bug in or legal system thoughm It is insane to say that you have to have evidence of concrete loss before you can challenge a law that restricts your freedom. That means that only lawbreakers have access to relief provided by the courts!
Especially horrible when it was used to stop people from challenging the PATRIOT ACT -- Congress gave feds be power to hide evidence of abuses, and made it illegal to share that evidence, and then courts rejected petitioners who didn't have that evidence in hand!
