Girl, 6, lands on terror watch list

Those who value security over liberty deserve neither.

this is a complete failure of the process involved  for the "no fly list"

A FAMILY is baffled to discover their six-year-old daughter has landed on a "no-fly" list alongside suspected terrorists.

Peter Mosher said he was “flabbergasted” to discover daughter Allison was on the terror watch list.

“It’s not just an inconvenience. It makes us less safe because they’re spending time investigating a six-year-old, instead of actually going after real terrorists,” Mr Mosher told the Boston Herald.  http://www.bostonherald.com/news/regional/view.bg?&articleid=1247835&format=&page=1&listingType=Loc#articleFull

The list is operated by the US Terrorist Screening Centre. Copies are passed to the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), which hands them out to airlines.

Mr Mosher, from Worcester, US, discovered the error while attempting to print out boarding passes for his family’s trip to Phoenix, finding he was unable to obtain one for Allison.
He was informed by United Airlines that she had been “flagged by TSA security”, probably because she didn’t have a frequent-flyer number.

Despite offering to get her one Mr Mosher was told her name would remain on the list as it is managed by the TSA, and that Allison would most likely need to undergo additional security screening.

“I am very sorry she is on the list. But when that happens, we are required to conduct a secondary set of security steps," United spokeswoman Robin Urbanski said.

A TSA spokeswoman said that because there are no children on the No Fly List, airlines can let kids younger than 12 bypass the tighter security.

Earlier this year eight-year-old Michael Hicks from New Jersey found himself on the terror watch list as he shares his name with a suspicious person.

Hicks is stopped and searched at nearly every airport, causing delays and headaches for his family.

Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. The only thing you can’t do is ignore them

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison
