SANTA ANA, California (AP) -- A California congresswoman said she was briefly denied access to a United Airlines flight last week because her name appeared on a "no-fly list" set up after the September 11 terrorist attacks.

Rep. Loretta Sanchez, a Democrat who has been a critic of the no-fly list, said her staff booked her a one-way ticket from Boise, Idaho, to Cincinnati, Ohio, through Denver, Colorado. But they were prevented from printing her boarding pass online and at an airport kiosk.

Sanchez said she was instructed to check in with a United employee, who told her she was on the terrorist watch list. The employee asked her for identification, Sanchez said.

1. "Mistaken" my ass.

This was deliberate.

2. I'm sick of Sanchez

She's just another politician trying to let illegals swarm into this country, to drive down wages for American workers. That's about as corporate-loving Republican as politicians get. :mad:

That said, I feel what was done to her in this instance was very wrong.
