I saw a story where an Arab baby couldn't fly because his name was on the no fly list

I've never travelled with a baby, though.

Same name: How airports mix up kids with people on ‘no fly’ lists

This article is more than 5 years old.
Faaria Siddiqui knows she has a long wait at the airport every time she tries to travel with her two-year-old son.
Since his first flight, when he was just three months old, she's had the same issue.


“It started at home. I couldn't check in online the night before, and it just kept telling me to see an attendant when I got to the airport,” Siddiqui says.
When they got to the airport, Siddiqui and her son were met with questions, but eventually got on their flight from Toronto to Vancouver.
She says she brushed it off, assuming it was routine. But on the return flight, the same issues arose.
“This time when I got to the airport, the attendant told me, 'Your son is on a list, and we have to verify his identity for you to continue the flight,'” she recalls in an interview with NEWS 95.7's Todd Veinotte.
It turned out that Siddiqui's sons name was an exact match to someone on a 'no fly list,' created jointly by the Transport Canada, CSIS, and the RCMP....

They’re doing too much. Just get rid of the whole TSA. I’ll take my chances with the terrorist.
