Baby, 18 months old, ordered off plane at Fort Lauderdale airport
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -
Eighteen-month-old Riyanna has been called a lot of things: cute, adorable and now ... a suspected terrorist.
She was called that on Tuesday night at the Ft Lauderdale Airport. She and her parents had just boarded a JetBlue flight when an airline employee approached them and asked them to get off the plane, saying representatives from the Transportation Security Administration wanted to speak to them.
This is really special - and nobody is willing to accept blame.
The parents are Muslim but born in the US, as was Riyanna. It was the kid's name on the no-fly list, not her parents.
Now, JetBlue is calling it a "computer glitch"
Just doing their job, dude.TSA what a great expenditure of our money.....

Of course it is the TSA's fault. They screw up over and over and over, and as of yet, we haven't heard of them really stopping anything.
Wasn't there some TSA agent in St. Louis or something who stopped that guy from carrying a cupcake on board? I mean that's something. He clearly hadn't brought enough to share with everyone on the flight.
:lamo Good one.
What have they done recently? I recall they broke someones insulin injector or some such (not diabetic, so not familiar with that stuff). Let gun parts hidden in stuff animals through. Took bribes to let drugs through. Loads of cases of stealing from luggage. I believe I read a recent congressional report showed that the full body scanners were crap for stopping things. The list since the beginning of the TSA would go on forever.
Ahhh government, keeping us safer
Thread should be titled, "Pampers Bomber Apprehended".
Yeah, the baby and the guy they just caught with the upgraded underwear could share the cell....the pampers bomber, and the new Fruit of Ka-Boom bomber....

A little OT, but what REALLY pisses me off is when they force everyone to turn off electronic devices at takeoff and landing when there is NO EVIDENCE that these devices in any way interfere with the plane's operation.
