How many of you may think you’re on the “terrorist” no fly list?

I just saw this on the news and I couldn’t believe it. There are over one million Americans on the no fly list. 200,000 names get put on the list daily. Average American citizens, with no ties whatsoever to terrorists. They interviewed a business man that had to fly somewhere and he couldn’t get a ticket. He’s spent months trying to get this straightened out, with no luck. You think you’re fine, you’re a patriotic American and voila you’re on the list. I was shocked, infuriated and a bit frightened as to what this administration has done to its own people. You may say you don’t believe it but I saw it wih my own own eyes.

This administration has gone berserk and God knows what else they’ve done. In more ways than you think, this country has become a police state, oh so subtly, but very seriously, This makes me realize if we don’t have a Presidential candidate who sees this and understands the danger this has created it will only get worse. You’re comments please. What can we do?
To Jeff Smoker: I don’t want want another attack any more than you do, but a million Americans with 200,000 names added each day? There may be some sleeper cells in this country, but in those numbers? Get real.
To Lan Har St: I dson’t have a link. I just saw it on the news, but there must be a link somewhere. If you find it, please share with us.
To Wolfen: If I’m making this up and didn’t see it on the news, why in the hell would I be on thee internet telling people when I have to get to work. In California it’s only 8:30 and I’m already late, but I thought this was mportant.
I’m hardly a paranoid person. I’m rational and level headed, but seeing this struck a raw nerve

Put a person on a no fly list when you know for a fact they could be a danger, but to list someone just because a machine says so, without real cause, our gov’t has gone too far.
To Ethel M: I think you’re right. People thinks it’s funny. This is America and stuff like that just doesn’t happen here. We’re having more and more rights taken away every day. I think Americans being as naive as they are, just won’t believe it until something happens to them. Wake up Americans, this is real.
To Whatrucki: Yes, this is very funny and all media hype. I guess you won’t believe it until it happens to you when you least expect it. Go ahead and believe nothing has changed and our gov’t. is made up of of civil, realistic people. The last laugh will be on you.

Travelling with two children (flying)?

I am flying in July from Manchester airport to Brussels with my 7 and 3 year old children. I have paid the same ticket prices for us all regardless of age and was wondering how much luggage we could take, do my children have half the luggage allowance and are they allowed backpacks for hand luggage? I was also told that I needed to check in 3 hours before flying which seems quite excessive, is this true? I am flying with BMI airline
Thanks, any any tips of how to cope with this journey with two children will be helpful as Im not sure I can tie them to the wings lol!
