Senator Blacklisted by No-Fly List
Are they sure he was on the no fly list because he's a threat and not because he might cause the weight and balance on the aircraft to be dangerously out of range?
sig writes "Senator Edward Kennedy (D-MA) was turned down for a flight from Washington, D. C. to Boston because his name turned up on the TSA No-Fly list. He eventually got on a flight, but was again denied on his way back to D.C. It took 3 weeks of calls to Tom Ridge and the Department of Homeland Security for the ordeal to get straightened out. But what are ordinary citizens supposed to do if the Secretary of Homeland Security won't take their calls?" There's also a New York Times story. (usa, michael) [Slashdot.org]
