Kennedy on "No-Fly" List

Oops.

Sen. Edward Kennedy said yesterday he was stopped and questioned at airports on the East Coast five times in March because his name appeared on the government's secret "no-fly" list.
This was obviously a clerical error. Sen. Kennedy should have been on the "no-drive" list.

As if you needed further proof that the watch list is a joke.

At least some of the elite, who are usually insulated from the consequences of their votes, are feeling the pain.

Since 9/11, I have been singled out for special screening every time I have flown. On US Navy travel orders, on a ticket obtained from a base ticket office.

So my vote is for Sen. Kennedy to be smacked upside the head with a sock full of wet sand every time he flies.
