4 Year Old Upset About Being On Government No Fly List

<snip>

HOUSTON -- Continental Airlines isn't commenting on why a 4-year-old boy was stopped repeatedly from boarding flights when his name turned up on a "no-fly" list.

Continental Airlines ticket agents in Houston and New York stopped Edward Allen of Houston and his mom, Sijollie Allen, and demanded IDs.

That's because another Edward Allen is on the Transportation Security Administration's "no-fly" list.

After several minutes of pleading by the boy's mother and a phone call by the ticket agent, mother and child were allowed to board a flight from Houston to New York's La Guardia Airport. But the Allens had similar trouble trying to return to Houston from New York.

Edward's mom is a Jamaican immigrant who lives in Houston. She said she doesn't understand why her American-born son should have to deal with this each time he travels.

Shouldn't this be public information?
