"I’m fine with putting little kids on the no-fly list if they’re close relatives of real jihad promoters.

Spoken like a dyed in the wool socialist, nanny stater."

You're saying anyone who doesn't want to fly on the same plane as Osama bin Laden's family, and would rather they were on the no-fly list is a leftist?

Or, say the family of someone who was actually a suicide bomber. Anyone who doesn't want to fly on the same plane as them, and would rather they were on the no-fly list is a leftist?

That doesn't add up at all. You need to think about that a bit more.

You need to read someone’s posting history.

And if that’s not enough, I can provide some real eye opening material.

Think it through.

Said close relatives of that child should be on the no fly list themselves already. There’s no need to put the child on a no-fly list if his close family already is because it’s highly unlikely that he’d be traveling like that without them.

Plus, considering the size of your average six year old, just how *full of explosives* can you pack one of them?

Now, theoretically, any six year old with terrorist relative connections that is being send on a flight all by himself that looks unusually bulky, lumpy or padded, ought to raise red flags with whatever security agency is screening passengers, but that is presuming that the security agency is capable of exercising common sense and admittedly, that is a bit of a stretch.

No, I wouldn’t want to fly on a plane with terrorists, but like I pointed out, THEY - the adults- should already be on the no fly list. There’s no need to put a six year old on in that case.
