Sometimes, it feels like we at the 老澳门开奖结果 are fighting an uphill battle when we try to draw attention to just how bloated and ineffective the Transportation Security Administration's (TSA) airline watchlist is. We've pointed out that dead people, heads of state, , and little kids are on the list.

Well, add 6-year-old Allison Mosher to that unfortunate group.

The that when Allison's father Peter tried to print out boarding passes for their family's vacation to the Grand Canyon, he was unable to print out Allison's. When he called the airline, the employee told him that Allison "had been flagged by TSA security," and that she's on the No-Fly List.

Peter Mosher has reached out to Sen. Scott Brown's office for assistance in getting Allison off the watchlist to prevent future impediments to Allison's travel. But we think Peter's final comment to the Herald pretty much sums up what we've been arguing all along:

鈥淚t鈥檚 not just an inconvenience,鈥� he said. 鈥淚t makes us less safe because they鈥檙e spending time investigating a 6-year-old, instead of actually going after real terrorists.鈥�

It鈥檚 worth noting that it can take an act of Congress to be removed from the watchlist. But for little Allison Mosher, that's not a likely option.
