Babies Caught Up in 'No-Fly' Confusion
This is ridiculous. I think everyone is in favor of doing our best to make sure we know who we are letting on planes, but some common sense has to be used at some point.
"I understand that security is important," Zapolsky said. "But if they're just guessing, and we have to give up our passport to prove that our 11-month-old is not a terrorist, it's a waste of their time."
That's right. If you can't tell that a baby is not a terrorist, then how can we have any confidence in anyone else that is on the list? If they're just matching up similar names, then the whole exercise is pointless. There are a lot of people with the same names. And I would imagine the actual terrorists have a lot of aliases available, and as those are found out, they probably end up on these lists. How long until everyone's name is on a list somewhere? And when there are so many names, and lacking any other information, then what is the point?
Clark said even with the problems the lists are essential to keeping airline passengers safe.
Not if they don't work. And based on things like this, I don't see how they possibly could.

That's ridiculous Patrick, then you're just advertising the fact that the terrorists can have another successful attack by just finding someone to do it that doesn't fit the profile.
Anyway, it's not like we haven't had any buildings destroyed by white guys.
Maybe the baby was acting suspiciously.
See! We're doing our jobs. Not even infant babies can get passed us now. Give us some more money and we'll make you EVEN MORE secure from those bad terrorists.
Follow da money. Just a thought.
