ONE YEAR SIX MONTHS OLD BABY KICKED OFF A PLANE BACAUSE HER NAME APPEARS ON THE TERRORIST "NO FLY" LIST

These are the times we live in believe it or not.
Parents of 18 month old Riyanna were left incredulous and humiliated when they were kicked off a Jet Blue flight at Fort Lauderdale airport in Florida on their way home to New Jersey; because their daughter's name had popped up on a 'no fly' list.

They had just boarded the aircraft when an airline employee asked them to disembark saying a representative of the Transportation Security Agency wanted to speak with them. When the toddler's mother asked why they wanted to speak with her, the employee responded "Well, it's not you or your husband. Your daughter was flagged as no fly"

After being detained for over half an hour they were cleared to go back on board without any apologies but the parents were too upset to get back on the plane.

The parents who do not wish to be identified believe they were racially profiled because they are of middle eastern descent and Riyanna's mother wears a hijab.

Jet Blue has released a statement regarding the incident which reads in part:

"We are investigating this particular incident.
We believe this was a computer glitch. Our crew members followed the appropriate protocols, and we apologize to the family involved in this unfortunate circumstance".
The parents however are not buying the story of a 'computer glitch' and are currently speaking with their lawyers.
