So I just saw one of the dumbest fucking news stories I've ever heard in my life.

If you don't want to read that, basically, there's a little 8 year old boy who is on the US's "Suspicious People List" which means, this kid can't fly anywhere. Why exactly is he on this list? Because apparently, there is another man by the name of Michael Hicks (the 8 year old's name) who is considered a threat to the US.
But surely people are smart enough not to take this seriously and know that this is just a mere coincidence that this boy has the same name. Obviously he's not a threat to the US.
You'd think that, but actually airports are required to pat down this kid and frisk him as if he was a terrorist.
What. The. Fuck?!
I don't get this at all. Can people not tell that this kid is just that? A fucking child! What the hell are these people thinking? That he's gonna blow up the plane?
His parents are needless to say, outraged.
What does the Escapist think of this?
