This is amusing...

A crook always say's "It wasn't me, I was framed!" or some other crap along those lines. Could it be that the individuals mentioned in this story are pulling the same stunt and, in all actuallity, really do belong on the "no fly list"?

...Among politicians, Martin is not alone. Defence Minister Bill Graham has also had problems boarding aircraft in recent months...

...In the U.S., Senator Ted Kennedy has been stopped at several different airports before persuading personnel they had the wrong person...

A "Dipper", a "Lib" and a "Democrat"... Fitting
