Even babies are making no-fly list

:huh:

WASHINGTON--Infants have been kept from boarding planes at airports throughout the U.S. because their names are the same as or similar to those of possible terrorists on the government's "no-fly list."

It sounds like a joke, but it's not funny to parents who miss flights while scrambling to have babies' passports and other documents faxed.

Ingrid Sanden's 1-year-old daughter was stopped last year in Phoenix. "I completely understand the war on terrorism, and I completely understand people wanting to be safe when they fly. But focusing the target a little bit is probably a better use of resources."

Sarah Zapolsky and her husband had a similar experience last month while departing from Dulles International Airport outside Washington. An airline ticket agent told them their 11-month-old son was on the government list.

They were able to board their flight after ticket agents took a half-hour to fax her son's passport and fill out paperwork.

"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."

The government's lists of people who are either barred from flying or require extra scrutiny before being allowed to board airplanes have grown markedly since the Sept. 11 attacks. They may now include more than 100,000 names.

Critics including the American Civil Liberties Union say the government doesn't provide enough information about the people on the lists, so innocent passengers can be caught up in the security sweep.

"There's no oversight over the names," ACLU lawyer Tim Sparapani said. "We know names are added hastily, and when you have a name-based system you don't focus on solid intelligence leads."

The Transportation Security Administration, which administers the lists, instructs airlines not to deny boarding to children under 12 or select them for extra security checks even if their names match those on a list.

But Debby McElroy, president of the Regional Airline Association, said: "Our information indicates it happens at every major airport."

Eh,..Smelly nasty droolin' lil crap factories should fly as luggage anyways....

Nasty lil animals need to come housebroken with a shock-collar and a muzzle or a gag or something. =7856


I love kids,..when they go home with their parents h6534y

My last GF had four Girls who were MAJOR pain in the asses,..well three really, the oldest was not bad really,..just overly emotional. ( I ain't kiddin' these girls were freaking psycho, like she was ready to have the 2nd oldest commited to a group home)

Of course by the time I'd gotten 'em about trained over a few years and was considering Pop the big question to thier mom, she up and messes around on me and chucks me out for her Austrailian Boss.

So,..Back to despising children, and after that, episode, I realized I've been cheated on in EVERY single relationship I've had, marriage included,..I'm not that high on women anymore either.

I ain't had any nookie for a lil over three years mebbe,..something like that..Probably why I get a lil cranky every so often.

I release all that pent up testosterone by going out and getting in a bar fight every so often,..gads after you feel the top of skull fermenting for a week or so after a month or so of slowly getting grouchier and testier,..it feels great to whale on some slob who lips off to ya...ftyhyh

Dang near as good as sex,..it has to be cause it's all I got going on... 8DRTV75

Damn women,..damn kids... :P

/b6 /b6 You just haven't met the "right" woman yet.

I suspect that's about as likely as finding the Loch Ness Monster... :huh:

I've heard they exsist, but I've yet to see any proof... b667ur

awwww not ALL women are schmucks....just as not ALL guys are...

Before she chucked me, I overcame all those insecurities I had about women and trust and all, I would have told anyone she WAS the perfect woman, I could not have asked for anything more, for years I loved her more than anyone else but my son,..her probably equally to him, I was very close to proposing, I'd just made up my mind to. We'd never even had an argument to speak of.

Then....plop. She did it. And it was over. I can't even think of her/it/that/them/us...the anything,..without getting mad, angry, upset, the whole burning complete rage thing,..even today ...

I ain't going thru that ever again. I really don't think I could handle being cheated on again without something completely bad happening somewhere to someone, and Lord only knows who or what, 'cause I don't.

I'll admit it,..I'm too scared to have a relationship again because I really don't wanna go thru it again, and I'm sure I would,..I have EVERY single time, and I might just grab something outta my war room and go climb a clock tower and start thinning the population out,..or maybe something else,..hell who knows...

All I know is I'm better off alone and everyone else is too,..even if it makes want to peel my head open somedays. I see a woman that perks my interest and soon after my internal warning bells go off and I start getting all tense and wound up and my system just says "Oh hell no, no way,..never again" And I leave it that way.

It's not that I don't want another relationship, or maybe even another family someday,,,...but there is NO fuckin' way in Hell's Half acre I'm risking it, besides..I already know because of my insecurities about it I'd be a miserable bastard for a woman to be around, and it would fail simply because of that. FACT.

Nope,..ain't got me a lot of use for women I'm afraid, but at least I can blame 'em for making me who I am today.
