As Dangerous in the Air as Behind the Wheel?

I'd always suspected that the macrocephalic senator from Massachussets might be hiding a spare box cutter or some plastic explosives in that Sputnikesque melon, and so I'm gratified to see that the Transportation Security Administration is taking that threat seriously. Ted Kennedy has been blocked from boarding airplanes on numerous occasions because the alias "Edward Kennedy," apparently used by some terrorists in the past, appears on the no-fly list. Now if only terrorists would only adopt the MO of travelling with crying babies. We wrote about problems with the no-fly list back in March.
