Security officials view four-year-old a terrorist risk
Red-faced security officials are still trying to explain why a four-year-old child’s name showed up on a government terrorist watch list.
“Is this a joke? You can tell he’s not a terrorist,” the mother told Continental Airlines agents last month at Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston.
She said she repeatedly had to plead to get her son on two flights in Texas.
Among others who have encountered problems with airports are US Sen. Edward M. Kenney.
The Transportation Security Administration’s “no-fly” list was set up right after 9-11.
A spokesman for Continental said the airline could not discuss its security policies.
