Still don't think "Homeland Security" is a jumbled political mess? You must not have been hanging out w/ Senator Kennedy then.
Sen. Kennedy Flagged by No-Fly List: "U.S. Sen. Edward M. Ted Kennedy said yesterday that he was stopped and questioned at airports on the East Coast five times in March because his name appeared on the government's secret no-fly list... A senior administration official, who spoke on condition he not be identified, said Kennedy was stopped because the name "T. Kennedy" has been used as an alias by someone on the list of terrorist suspects."
Of course, since we are in this tautological black-hole of paranoia and government secrecy, it is not surprising that "The government does not make public the names or the total number of people on the list, which officials say is constantly updated.... [but] the list has not led to any arrests."
Hint to terrorist: please adopt the alias "J. Ashcroft" asap.
