This little boy was going back home after visiting with his sister. He goes to the counter and the woman tells him that he can't get on the plane because he's on the terrorist list. An 8 year old boy on the terrorist list? What was she thinking? I bet the boy was so scared. I know I would have been if someone was to tell me that. They finally got it cleared up but he had to wait the next day to go home. I just think that woman who was at the counter shouldn't have said that to him. She should have talked to someone about what to do but not frighten that boy like that.

Hey, you never know. The terrorists could be using small children as part of their arsenal. I wouldn't put it past them. They are horrible beings. I do feel sorry for the boy. Sounds like he was traveling alone. That by itself was pretty frightening, I'm sure.

How stupid! An 8 year old kid on a terrorist list! That'll be a sad day when we have to start being scared of our children!
It's not the same thing, but my dad was on the 'no fly list' too! Eventually it got cleared up! But apparently they have a bunch of wrong names on the no fly list! I am going on vacation soon and I don't know what I'll do if they tell me I'm on the 'no fly' list!
