Working out the bugs

CNN.com reports on the well-documented problems that the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is having with the no-fly list. Recently several families flying with children under the age of three were not allowed to board their plane because their child was on the no-fly list.

While nobody doubts the importance of tightened security in the post 9/11 era, clearly there needs to be some massive work done to fix the problems. The TSA has a "passenger ombudsman" to investigate these claims and make sure that these passengers are not stopped on future flights. It sounds as if they are making the effort to fix the problems. Let's hope that they continue to do so in a timely manner.
