'No-fly list' Trouble for Some Parents

When I saw the headline for this article I almost thought the 'cone of silence' Erik ranted about for Babies on No-Fly Listcrying babies had been created, but something else is keeping infants off planes and giving parents something to cry out about. The 'No-fly list.' According to this CNN piece some parents and their darling little infants, as young as 11-months old have been stopped before boarding the plane. Apparently the child's name is on the government's ridiculous list of people who have been barred from flying or require extra scrutiny before boarding the plane. For parents with suspected little terrorists, this has become a nightmare as they have to have all sorts of documents faxed over to prove the only bomb the infant knows how to make is the foul-smelling stink bombs found in their diapers. Spending so much time trying to get these documents last minute often results in missed flights which is incredibly lame.
