So, he is now on a permanent list of "potential terrorist threats", is
being
threatened with a $50.00 fine, was put through an awful situation over
which
he had no control or knowledge, and my sister feels thoroughly awful. He
barely made his flight, and (of course) his Dad didn't receive his Xmas
present, since the TSA confiscated it.



He did have control. He was given something from someone and didn't know
what it was. I think that is one of the things usually asked at check in.
