They still don't get it....

Typical bull$h!t.

Hardened criminal mastermind! No doubt!

He dropped a bomb in his diaper the first time they screened him. ;)

Do they have a cub scout merit badge for homemade recipe C4?

The first time he was patted down, at Newark Liberty International Airport, Mikey was 2. He cried.
After years of long delays and waits for supervisors at every airport ticket counter, this year’s vacation to the Bahamas badly shook up the family. Mikey was frisked on the way there, then more aggressively on the way home.
"Up your arms, down your arms, up your crotch — someone is patting your 8-year-old down like he’s a criminal," Mrs. Hicks recounted. "A terrorist can blow his underwear up and they don’t catch him. But my 8-year-old can’t walk through security without being frisked."
Sounds like the TSA utilizing blanket gov't mandates that of course are B.S.
No differentiation between an 8 year old, and a clear description of another with the same name that I'm sure is somewhat taller....
They think "unionizing" the TSA will make it better...
Pleeeeeeeaaaaaaazzzzeeeeeeee

Herein lies the reason I go out of my way to avoid air travel. I have nearly ten pounds of metal in my body, it would be a complete clusterf*@k to go through airport screening.
This kid's family should sue the living daylights out of the TSA for terrorizing their son! I think I would have been arrested myself if they did that to my kid...

A recent newspaper column, I think it was Fronna the Frump, or what ever, Talked about how "Profiling" is just SO ineffective, she went on with 2 examples of middle aged white guys who blew up air liners. She had to go back to the mid 60's for her examples. She neglected to mention that the last terrorist act in America carried out by a guy of European descent was the OKC bombing 15 years ago, every other terrorist act against America since 1970 has been carried out by Muslim men 20-40.
I think Profiling might not be perfect, but it's better than the Keystone Kop Movie they have now.

No doubt.
-
They can name someone, the can catch everyone with the same name, but they can't manage to put a birthdate with the name ???
I'm not against a certain level of screening, but at some point you need to turn on the "brain switch" and know who you are screening ... idiots >:(
-
You all are missing the threat.
The boy is a member of an elite paramilitary organization: The Cub Scouts
He fits the profile at DHS ;D
Wolverines!!!

Even a APPROXIMATE AGE would suffice. ::)

Just wait until they get their hands on the health care system ! Bill T.

Technically he isn't on the "no fly" list, but on the "selectee" or "watch" list. Semantics, I know, but in the bureaucrat's minds that's what counts.
However, please note that no government organization lists any of the "real" terriorists (other than the obvious, publicly known ones) on these "terrorists" lists. They don't want to tip their hand and let the terrorist know that we know who they are. So the list, is somewhat useless to begin with. It's all for show.
