SANTA ANA, California (AP) -- A California congresswoman said she was briefly denied access to a United Airlines flight last week because her name appeared on a "no-fly list" set up after the September 11 terrorist attacks.

 

Rep. Loretta Sanchez, a Democrat who has been a critic of the no-fly list, said her staff booked her a one-way ticket from Boise, Idaho, to Cincinnati, Ohio, through Denver, Colorado. But they were prevented from printing her boarding pass online and at an airport kiosk.

 

Sanchez said she was instructed to check in with a United employee, who told her she was on the terrorist watch list. The employee asked her for identification, Sanchez said.

Uh, Mr. Heartless Bastard, what's with the whistling?

You don't think it's ridiculous than a member of congress could end up on some government terrorist list? You would think they'd filter out congressmen, senators, etc.

Sorry, didn't know what you meant. But still, that's your Department of Homeland Security for you. You know, the same people YOUR BOY appointed?

I thought it was a little funny that she was a democrat.

Same here.

This has happened to more than one member of Congress already, but I don't remember who it was.

You're right. She is probably the only Loretta Sanchez on the planet.
