In today’s world where the threat of terrorism seems so dangerously imminent, we rely on the authorities and intelligence agencies to keep us safe. Be it through confidential investigations, search warrants or airport security, we hope that the officials involved get it right.
So what’s this about a 2-year-old kid being a terror suspect?
If you think it sounds too crazy to be true, you’re right.
The toddler was recently prevented from boarding a flight heading to Turkey from the United Arab Emirates after his name matched that of a wanted terror suspect.
The tiny tot, whose first name is Suhail, obviously had no idea what was going on, and neither did his parents.
After much confusion, authorities realized that little Suhail was not Osama Bin Laden in disguise or any other terror suspect for that matter, and let him go.
The odd thing was that it was not only the boy’s name that was listed on the terror suspect list but also his exact passport details.
So what does this mean about those who are supposedly looking out for us to prevent terrorists from striking? Who knows. Police are currently investigating the matter.

hmm, maybe they organise national security screening techniques the same way they organised voter screening for the 2000 election.

It's amazing that a 2 year old child could get caught up in something like this, but I guess it makes everyone ask whether it was worth it in order to maintain national security? Where do we draw the line? Is there a line at all? I don't know...
