Aug. 19, 2004 WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Senate Judiciary Committee heard this morning from one of its own about some of the problems with airline "no fly" watch lists. Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., says he had a close encounter with the lists when trying to take the U.S. Airways shuttle out of Washington to Boston.

Coincidence? That is the question.

A person is pretty screwed if they're wrongly on the "no fly" watch list and can't get a direct line to Tom Ridge.
