No kidding! Girl, 6, on no-fly list

What’s next? Babies?

The parents of a 6-year-old Ohio girl got the shock of their life recently, being stopped at an airport on a family trip because the girl’s name was on the “no fly” list.

“We were, like, puzzled,” said the father, Dr. Santhosh Thomas, according to a local Fox TV affiliate. “I’m like, well, she’s kinda 6 years old and this is not something that should be typical.”

The parents contacted Homeland Security, but were told no changes would be made to the list.

The family can fly, but the check-in process will take more time.
