Yahoo: "Infants have been stopped from boarding planes at airports throughout the U.S. because their names are the same as or similar to those of possible terrorists on the government's 'no-fly list'.
It sounds like a joke, but it's not funny to parents who miss flights while scrambling to have babies' passports and other documents faxed."
Only in Murka, folks, only in Murka, where they even keep a vigilant eye on 1-year olds because they could be 'terrorists'.

It seems my suspicion re Able Danger was justified. As the information came from a Republican and blamed Clinton it was to be expected something was wrong.
FAS: "Rep. Curt Weldon (R-PA) caused a stir lately by alleging that a classified military intelligence data mining program codenamed ABLE DANGER had identified September 11 hijacker Mohammed Atta as a threat as early as summer of 2000 and that the 9/11 Commission had been so informed but had chosen to suppress the information.
In an official statement on the matter, former Commission Chair and Vice Chair Thomas Kean and Lee Hamilton disputed Weldon's account, and Weldon himself has begun to backtrack, stating that he is no longer certain that a chart he obtained from the military in 2001 actually named Atta."
