US Homeland Security thinks seven year old child is a terrorist
For the third time, a 7-year-old boy had to check in with an airline agent before flying because his name is on the possible terrorist no-fly list.
“He thought he did something wrong,” said the boy’s mother, Krista Martin.
Ms Martin said she tells an airline her son’s age when making reservations but still has to seek out an agent when she can’t obtain his boarding pass either online or at an airport kiosk.
The child named Michael Martin, apparently shares a name with a suspected or known terrorist, according to security officials, although observers have to wonder about this common name.
A similar mix-up has caught several others children and higher-profile public officials as well such as U. S. Rep. Loretta Sanchez of California.
The Transportation Security Administration compiles the list.
