Paranoia in the desert

BREITBART.COM - Two-year-old Emirati boy held as airport threat:
"'They said they wanted my son, as the date of birth, the passport number and all other details in the system showed they had the correct Suhail.'"

Nice to know that airport security folks in Dubai are just as dumb as ours. They stop a two-year old from boarding a flight to Turkey with his parents on vacation because he was on a "watch list" that listed his name, date of birth and passport number.

The date of birth should have been a clue that the listing was bogus. How could a two-year old possibly appear on such a list except by error?

Among the many reasons I don't fly is that they let small children on airplanes. The noise and the smell with all those folks packed in like sardines was barely tolerable when you could smoke and get drunk - nowadays, forget it.
