More TSA stupidity

Gunner reports that a seven year-old was on the TSA’s no-fly list. I feel safe.

    I actually read the story Gunner links to and the system seems to be working to me. The kid came up on the list, the agent saw he was 7 years old and obvious not a threat, and they corrected the problem on the spot.

    Sure, its annoying that his name popped up. But you don’t know whether a real life terrorist with that same name exists. Or maybe the kid was playing on some terrorist boards or something. Either way, the gate agents and TSA personel responded appropriatly to the situation and but for a slight (really, was it more than a couple of minutes) delay, no one was worse for the experience.

    Countertop: And would the real-life terrorist with the same name be so stupid as to use that name?

  3. countertop Says:

    sometimes they are, and often times the name on the list is an known alias – not their real name.

    Look, my point isn’t that i approve or disapprove of the list but simply that it seems like TSA used common sense for once and the process worked,

    The REAL question is: can that 7-year-old buy a gun?

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
