Another example of comical TSA incompetence. Nothing new there, though this story seems to have had a happy ending, or should have. A couple was initially told that their 18-month-old baby was on the “no fly list.” After a mix-up and, no doubt, some less-than-cordial treatment, “Eventually, the couple were given their boarding passes back.”
Any normal traveler would leave in a huff, get on the plane, and resume her planned vacation. No harm, no foul. But, in this case, “The family decided to leave the airport rather than return to the flight.” That’s the end of the article.
Might there be more going on here? The family, including a mother in a hijab, will no doubt sic both the “civil rights” police and their tort lawyer on the airline, airport, and TSA. The fact that this story was in the newspaper in the first place is the first clue. Heaven forbid someone should just get on with her life if she has the opportunity to play the victim.
