Coral Springs boy, 7, on no-fly list has been delayed at airport three times -- OrlandoSentinel.com

Coral Springs boy, 7, on no-fly list has been delayed at airport three times -- OrlandoSentinel.com:

"Michael Martin (age 7) went through a hassle trying to fly out of Fort Lauderdale recently because his name was on a no-fly list. Rather than protest to authorities, he nervously turned to his mom for comfort."

No-fly lists are of course a fraud. If the US suspected someone was dangerous enough to deny them access to air travel you would expect they would have them in custody on some charges, and probably arrest them right at the terminal trying to board. This is what a German describing life under the Nazis described as 'becoming accustomed to arbitrary and increasingly absurd government'. - DAVIN
