Average Joes have tough time leaving no-fly list

I just heard about Kennedy being on the No-Fly list It took him 3 weeks and lots of phone calls to get this straightened out. The average citizen doesn't stand a chance. No trial required, this is Ashcroft's America after all, and he don't need no steenkin' courts. The Kennedy name has got him out scrapes that would have got John Q. Public 20 years.

Kennedy said he was stopped at airports in Washington, D.C., and Boston three times in March. Airline agents told him he would not be sold a ticket because his name was on a list.

When he asked the agent why, he was told, "We can't tell you."

Each time, a supervisor recognized Kennedy and got him on the flight. But after the third incident, Kennedy's staff called the Transportation Security Administration and asked to clear up the confusion.
