Not only are babies' names getting added to the national no-fly list, they're also really darn hard to remove:
The best Zapolsky and her husband can hope for is a letter that tells airport screeners that the little boy is harmless, and that he's been added to a "cleared" list.
But, it turns out, that, too, will be impossible for the 1-year-old.
Before the federal agency will issue such a letter, the person on the list must fill out and have notarized an application that asks for things like height, weight and three forms of government ID.
