Error Puts Kennedy on Airline No-Fly List
WASHINGTON - The Senate Judiciary Committee (news - web sites) heard this morning from one of its own about some of the problems with airline "no fly" watch lists. Sen.

The ticket agent wouldn't let him on the plane. His name was on the list in error.

Kennedy says it took three calls to Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge to get his name stricken from the list. The process took several weeks, in all.
