#1 Well, gee, so long as the plane doesn't have to drive over any bridges, I suppose we could let him on.

(A cheap shot, I know, but I can't help myself.)

#5 Prolly wasn't a typo. Talk to some of the commercial flight crews that have had to haul this arrogant, obnoxious a**hole around. Also, I doubt that Teddy was any more polite to the ground folks. They're all most likely enjoying this story.

#6 Don't know about the no fly list. Maybe Kennedy was supposed to be on the "no drive list" instead?

#7 The way I heard the story the airlines used to each have there own lists of obnoxious passengers and the lists were all merged in with the no-fly list.

Teddy drinks to much and they can't keep enough little bottles of booze aboard for both him and the rest of the passengers so they put him on the list.

#10 So what was the mistake? Ultra-liberal Democrats like Kennedy and Kerry side with the likes of Hanoi more often than they side with the Republicans across the aisle. Kerry should be on the list too.

#11 This wasn't a mistake, it was a fuel conservation measure.

#12 It was not a mistake. Teddy, because of the fumes he emits is HAZMAT. Details follow:

From 49CFR 172.101

Ethanol (UN1170) is limited by the aforementioned regulations to 5 liters on passenger aircraft. Given Teddy's drinking history, and his toxicity, he posesses too much ethanol to fly. Maybe after a detox program, he can be retested and then recertified for passenger aircraft. Cargo only aircraft are allowed 60L, but reclassifying him as cargo gets into a very politically sensitive area. I hope that this clears up the misunderstandings, and why the incidents occured, as described in the article.
