By “dangerous,” I meant to say “dangerously adorable.” I don’t want to jump to conclusions, but the TSA might have gotten this one wrong.
Eighteen-month-old Riyanna has been called a lot of things: cute, adorable and now … a suspected terrorist.
She was called that on Tuesday night at the Ft Lauderdale Airport. She and her parents had just boarded a JetBlue flight when an airline employee approached them and asked them to get off the plane, saying representatives from the Transportation Security Agency wanted to speak to them.
“And I said, ‘For what?'” Riyanna’s mother told only WPBF 25 News on Wednesday. “And he said, ‘Well, it’s not you or your husband. Your daughter was flagged as no fly.’ I said, ‘Excuse me?'”
Riyanna’s father was flabbergasted.
“It’s absurd,” he said. “It made no sense. Why would an 18-month-old child be on a no-fly list?”
Because idiots are running the country? Other than that, I’ve got nothin’.
The parents suspect they might have been profiled — they’re Muslim and the mom wears a hijab — but we know that in the age of Obama enlightenment, profiling is the one thing TSA won’t do.
