Uhhh, they were already in the air when they matched the name to the list?
Yup.
Islamophobes!!!
You’d think by now that Allanah Achbar would either have changed her name or stopped flying internationally.
hahahaha Bumperstickerist!
Niiiiiiice.
The husband shares his name with someone who’s on the Do Not Fly list. We’ve had to wait up to forty-five minutes while the ticket agents cleared him to go through security. They’ve even called over security guards to make sure that he wouldn’t run, you know, just in case he was trying to pull a fast one. Furthermore, if he wants to not have to deal with this in the future, he has to call the local FBI office to get it noted on some list somewhere that he is not, indeed, the same Michael Nelson that’s on the list. The burden’s on him to make sure it doesn’t happen again, not the government.
And just for the record, he’s white and his name is Michael Nelson.
Bangor, Maine. Deverted flight test dummy since 2001.
No doubt the real Mike Nelson, the creator of MST3K, is a terrorist.
My brother had a grade-school classmate named Mike Nelson. I can believe all this might be his fault.
It was John al-Kerry.
Death to America.
