By on Aug 15th, 2005 at 3:14 pm
Infants have been stopped
from boarding planes at airports throughout the U.S. because their names are the same as or similar to those of possible terrorists on the government’s “no-fly list.”

Dogma… and knee jerk conservativism and quasi-fascism.
August 15th, 2005 at 3:19 pmNow how can we get “Rush Limbaugh”, “Sean Hannity”, et all put on that list…
August 15th, 2005 at 3:34 pmI know there’s a bomb in that diaper…Look at the bulge in the back!

No way. They aren’t infan–
On second thought, very good question.

August 15th, 2005 at 3:39 pmDon’t name your kid Dubya or he/she will never get on the plane.
August 15th, 2005 at 3:45 pmJust testing the boundaries of public tolerance.
August 15th, 2005 at 3:46 pmLittle Mini-Me Bin Ladens disguised as infants or are they bomb-mules?
August 15th, 2005 at 3:57 pmIf the baby has a beard, he’s off.
August 15th, 2005 at 4:04 pmNext: all grandmothers with whiskers are banned from flying.
August 15th, 2005 at 4:30 pmFine with me! I don’t want them damn towel bottoms on the same flight as me anyways.

Rugrats and towel butts!
August 15th, 2005 at 5:35 pmI knew you guys would find a funny way to comment on this ridiculous piece of news – and you didn’t disappoint. Can out gov’t become more laughable?
August 15th, 2005 at 6:51 pmDoes this mean we’re going to see sonograms on Horowitz’s “discover the network” web site?
August 15th, 2005 at 7:21 pmBabies are so advanced these days…must be that Baby Einstein tape.
August 15th, 2005 at 8:16 pmRubber baby buggy bumpers?
August 15th, 2005 at 9:44 pmYep, got to be careful of those Terrorits who are masters of disguise. How clever of them to think of hiding in infant costumes.
August 16th, 2005 at 12:52 amFunny, they never give me any trouble at all.

Durn it, I knew naming the kid Saddam Osama Zarqawi al-Hussein bin Ladin Panaflex was a bad idea…
August 16th, 2005 at 3:35 amThis is one of those mistakes I don’t mind so much, having been in planes with screaming babies.
August 16th, 2005 at 8:43 am‘terror tots’!!! (heck, just go to any mall or Charles E. Cheese, esq. and you will see plenty of terror-tots that are working their way up to a full blown ankle-biter cell of terror – albeit the only threat they pose is to grown-ups’ relaxed, quiet, movie-watching moments)
August 16th, 2005 at 10:25 amHey, the biggest batch of infantile (minded) terrorists are holding elected office and collectively running this country (into the ground).
All that crying hurts our troops! Free speech is great, but when it’s on a five hour flight, something must be done. Al Jazeera broadcasts images of crying babies. Nothing more needs to be said about the motives of infants. When we were attacked on 9/11, conservatives prepared for war. Infants wanted a bottle.
Next on Fox News: blame infants for high gas prices.
August 16th, 2005 at 11:03 amC’mon folks. This thread is PERFECT for fun stuff. How about:
“I’ve got a loaded baby here and I know how to use it!”
or
“Look out! That thing is about to GOOOO!!!”
can’t they just put the baby’s through the carry on baggage scanner?
August 16th, 2005 at 11:15 amThis is a new angle to poke more holes in the tragic condition air travel security is in…
I call on all expectant mothers to name their children after possible terrorists.
Maybe then will there truly be advances in security and not superficial name checks.
