    Postak 8 year old on the watch list since he was 2

    âMeet Mikey Hicks,â said Najlah Feanny Hicks, introducing her 8-year-old son, a New Jersey Cub Scout and frequent traveler who has seldom boarded a plane without a hassle because he shares the name of a suspicious person. âItâs not a myth.â Michael Winston Hicksâs mother initially sensed trouble when he was a baby and she could not get a seat for him on their flight to Florida at an airport kiosk; airline officials explained that his name âwas on the list,â she recalled.

    They need to revamp the whole TSA system a fire a bunch of their employees. The morons have to know by now that regular people may have the same name as a terrorist. I by the way share mine with an IRA terrorist. Just because your name pops up on their list as a hit doesn't mean its a valid hit. The vast majority of the tsa name lits hits should be ruled out by using the physical identifiers given, age, height, weight, eye color ect, before even talking to the passenger. The idiot who frisked a 2 year old should be cleaning the restrooms and not protecting our airways. Luckily for me the closest I've come was a few questions in Milan Italy, but that was before 911. I'm sure my next trip overseas won't be as easy.

    Me too moleman. I share the name of an Irish bank robber. Got stopped in New York, cause I am on the do not fly list.
    Guess the guy robbed 14 banks in Ireland and held up a whole village. Damn regular Robin Hood he is I guess.
    kinda scary when yah first get stopped.
    Now I have had my bad boy days. So all kinds of thought start running through your mind while the L.O.s are running yah.
    Yah weird thoughts start running through your mind.
