JetBlue makes no-fly list mistake, removes toddler
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.—Officials say an 18-month-old girl was mistakenly pulled off a JetBlue Airways Corp. flight before it left Fort Lauderdale because airline employees thought her name was on the U.S. no-fly list.
An airline employee boarded the Newark, N.J.-bound flight before it departed Tuesday evening, telling the family their toddler was on the federal list that includes thousands of known or suspected terrorists.
JetBlue on Thursday blamed the problem on a computer glitch, saying employees were following proper protocol. The U.S. Transportation Security Administration says the girl never was flagged by the agency.
The child's parents told ABC affiliate WPBF (http://bit.ly/Jg94su) they believe they were targeted because they are of Middle Eastern descent and the mother wears a hijab.
The family was cleared to re-board. But they declined, saying they were too embarrassed.

Just one look, that's all it took, was - just one look.
Anyone blind in one eye and who couldn't see out of the next, would have been able to determine that 'their' information was obviously bogus.
People can't even think for themselves anymore - welcome to 1984!
