totally nuts criminal Sen. Ted Steven's wife on no fly list - you'll never guess why

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070118/ap_on_go_ca_st_pe/aviation_security


No-fly list checked for accuracy, cut

-snip-

Among them was Sen. Ted Stevens (news, bio, voting record), R-Alaska, who complained that his wife, Catherine, was being identified as "Cat" Stevens and frequently stopped due to confusion with the former name of the folk singer now known as Yusuf Islam, whose name is on the list. In 2004 he was denied entry into the U.S., but officials declined to explain why.

1. Un-freakin'-believeable, though it couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
Yay, I feel safer. :eyes:

6. Exactly. She should also be understanding that this is necessary to
protect us from terrorist folk singers.

7. Here's a little suggestion for Nancy Pelosi's 100-hour agenda...
How about killing the "no-fly" lists? She'll have plenty of time left in the first 100 hours to do so.

12. Soon as that happens, some MIHOP cell will pop a building
and the neocons will blame the DEMS ;)

A No Fly List would be do-able, if the idiots in charge would just pay attention to Boston Legal and hire some bright Steves!

17. I understand where you're coming from...
...but anything that brings us closer to "Your papers, please?" just doesn't sit well with me.

8. And finally, a way to bitch about it that isn't simply pissing in the wind
...Also Wednesday, the Homeland Security Department launched a new program for passengers who feel wronged to try correcting the list.

The program will give travelers "a clearly-defined process" to report problems, said Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff in a written statement.

Beginning Feb. 20, the program, dubbed Traveler Redress Inquiry Program, will serve as a central processing point for all inquiries about Homeland Security agencies' databases.

14. LOL!
Sorry. Didn't mean to be amused by someone else's misfortune. But, I think it illustrates that all prejudice is based on some form of ignorance.

24. GOOD. I wonder if it will take 4 MONTHS to get HER name removed? That's how long
it took Ted Kennedy to get HIS name removed and he's a freakin' United States Senator! I'm glad she's on the list. I hope MORE repukes and their families get on the list. THEY created this freakin' nightmare now they can live with it too.
