"This freedom of movement is the very essence of our free society, setting us apart. Like the right of assembly and the right of association, it often makes all other rights meaningful-knowing, studying, arguing, exploring, conversing, observing and even thinking. Once the right to travel is curtailed, all other rights suffer, just as when curfew or home detention is placed on a person."William O. Douglas, Aptheker v. Secretary of State, 378 U.S. 500, 520 (1964) (concurring)
This quotation is from a case about the State Department's attempt to revoke communists' passports and prevent them traveling abroad. Although it says nothing about method of travel, is there any reason this right should be restricted to those who can afford a car?
