Items like this are proof, that with our help, the terrorists' strategy is succeeding.

It's also MORE proof that the TSA is a freaking joke!

Family of toddler want apology for no-fly mistake

(05-11) 09:47 PDT MIAMI (AP) -- Mark Lennihan / AP

A spokesman for the family of an 18-month-old girl who was pulled off a flight because airline employees thought her name was on the U.S. no-fly list says the girl's parents do not plan to take any legal action.

Rick Abbott told The Associated Press Friday that the family is looking for an apology or an explanation from JetBlue, which blamed the problem on a computer glitch.

An airline employee boarded the Newark, N.J.-bound flight before it departed Tuesday evening from Fort Lauderdale, telling the family their toddler was on the federal list that includes thousands of known or suspected terrorists.

JetBlue says employees were following proper protocol. The U.S. Transportation Security Administration says the girl never was flagged by the agency.

It's all a Corporation can understand! Right and wrong are irrelevant unless a punitive dollar sign is attached! Its the Management Way! These people are suffering from the "everyone is a threat, everything is a threat" Mentality for the Soduku Commandos at TSA and the Companies that have to make sense of the BS. Inflict the pain, enjoy the gain! THATS THE AMERICAN WAY!
