Infants and toddlers have certainly received a bad reception in air travel over the last six months. The latest incident involved an 18-month-old Muslim girl being flagged on the the TSA’s no-fly list.

Not long after boarding their JetBlue flight, the girl and her family were asked to leave the plane and report to the TSA. When the girl’s parents were notified that the child was on the list, they felt she was singled out because of the family’s Middle Eastern decent. The family was able to re-board the plane after meeting with the TSA, but declined to do so.
