US Senator Ted Kennedy (Democrat, Massachusetts) (Link) was prohibited from flying because his name sparked a terror alert, the Associated Press reports. Apparently, the Senator's name came up on a terrorist watch list, or no-fly list, while attempting to board a US Airways shuttle out of Washington..
A vigilant airline clerk refused to allow Kennedy to board. After numerous phone calls, the Senator did manage to get home to Boston, but the same comedy ensued as he attempted to return to Washington, the wire service says
Was this the GOP trying to keep him away from the DNC? Or are known drunks now considered terrorist?
A fun web offering about people wondering about his drinking at the DMC. Is Ted drunk yet? (Link)
