True. Suppose instead that were a Lebesgue measurable set in the plane. The section consequence of Fubini's theorem says that there is a Lebesgue null set such that
is a Lebesgue measurable set for every . This version applies to completed Lebesgue measure; it can be obtained on bounded rectangles and then extended by a countable exhaustion, so no finite-measure assumption on is needed.
For every the section is exactly , which is not measurable. Thus . By Completeness of Lebesgue measure, every subset of is measurable, contradicting the hypothesis on . Therefore
