blzrul Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 I'm not even going to post a link because this one's all over. For those living under rocks, somehow (...?hmmm?) Ted Kennedy was put on the DHS no-fly list because his name was "similar" to a "suspected terrorist". He wasn't stopped once, or twice, or three times, but four. Maybe more. In spite of numerous attempts to clear it up. So. One of the most recognizable people in America somehow gets on the list ... and they can't get him off. I feel safer, MUCH safer. I choose to believe that it was an innocent error - I'd think much more highly of the DHS if I thought they'd been put up to it by political manipulators, but even I can't imagine the Bushistas being that petty.

Albany,n.y. Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 but even I can't imagine the Bushistas being that petty. Imagine again, these are the same thugs who outed a CIA agent (the Cons will yell no proof, just watch) and put minorities on felon lists so they can't vote in Florida. They'd probably stop Ted's plane home from Washington on election day if he was in a swing state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VABills Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 I can understand. As big as he is it would throw the center of balance off on the airplane. I bet he has to purchase three tickets now to even try to fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmac17 Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 One of the most recognizable people in America hate to break it to you, but I don't think teddy breaks the top 200 in that category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Tom Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 Ted Kennedy was put on the DHS no-fly list because his name was "similar" to a "suspected terrorist". 263[/snapback] You have to wonder what suspected terrorist has a name close to Kennedy's, though. Is it that elusive Mohammed "Ted" al-Qannidhi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alaska Darin Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 It's kind of ironic that one of the people so responsible for removal of individual freedoms is suffering. There is no common sense in the process and there never will be. Legislation rarely has the effect of making things more efficient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDBillzFan Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 We need to fund a committee to examine why this happened and prepare a report for Congress. Also, I would argue that Kennedy IS one of the most easily recognized people in this country, and when you start classifying it as 'most easily recognized people with a drunkard's nose veins popping out,' it's really between him and that Fields character.

Chilly Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 The Department of Homeland Security is a joke, but still better then any Department the democrats have made. Oh wait, they haven't had the power to, and most people approve of Bush's handling of the war on terror. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
