Yeap. Another new accomplishment by the TSA. Good Job.

Eighteen-month-old Riyanna has been called a lot of things: cute, adorable and now ... a suspected terrorist.

Perhaps a few TSA agents getting culled off from cancer caused by scanners might change their tune on the limp wristed "just following orders" excuse.

I had to laugh..they wanted to "question" an 18 month old.
First because she was on the "no fly list" and then they said she wasn't.

We have a bunch of idiots running the country and the majority are quite happy with it.

You can thank Bush for turning the country into an armed camp after 9/11. Exactly what the terrorists wanted.

Well it could have all been repealed January 2009 but it wasn't.
Parts could have let expire since then, but they were extended instead.

Both the Repubs and Dems are 100% onboard with what is going on today in America.

Considering they recently found a teddy bear with a gun in it about to board a plane with a child, there may have been a good reasons why the TSA was profiling Middle Eastern looking couples with young children.

The baby was on the "no fly list". And the TSA weren't interested in interviewing the parents, just the baby.

http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/sideshow...175521187.html
After boarding a JetBlue flight in Ft. Lauderdale, the parents of young Riyanna, who asked to remain anonymous over fears of repercussions, were told the Transportation Security Agency (TSA) wanted to interview their toddler.

"And I said, 'For what?'" Riyanna's mother told ABC affiliate WPBF 25 News on Wednesday. "And he said, 'Well, it's not you or your husband. Your daughter was flagged as no fly.' I said, 'Excuse me?'"
