Clerical error puts Kennedy on "no fly" list
CAPITOL HILL The Senate Judiciary Committee has heard this morning from one
of its own about some of the problems with airline "no fly" watch lists.
Massachusetts Democrat Ted Kennedy says he had a close encounter with the
lists when trying to take the U-S Airways shuttle out of Washington to
Boston.
The ticket agent wouldnt let him on the plane. His name was on the list --
in error. After a flurry of phone calls, Kennedy was able to fly home, but
then the same thing happened coming back to Washington.
Kennedy says it took three calls to Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge
to get his name stricken from the list. The process took several weeks, in
all.
And Kennedy asks -- what about the little guy?
