Sarah Zapolsky and her husband had a similar experience
last month while departing from Dulles International Airport outside
Washington. An airline ticket agent told them their 11-month-old son
was on the government list....
Well-known people like Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, Rep. John Lewis,
D-Ga., and David Nelson, who starred in the sitcom "The Adventures of
Ozzie and Harriet," also have been stopped at airports because their
names match those on the lists...
The TSA has a "passenger ombudsman" who will investigate
individual claims from passengers who say they are mistakenly on the
lists. TSA spokeswoman Yolanda Clark said 89 children have submitted
their names to the ombudsman. Of those, 14 are under the age of 2.
