It’s a memory most of us share: Our first time on an airplane. 8-year old Bryan Moore will never forget HIS first time.

He moved toward the gate, excited and more than a little bit nervous. He handed over his boarding pass, no doubt imagining what it must feel like to fly. Then, the airline rep tells him hes on the No Fly List. And they don’t allow him to board.

As Fox Kansas City reports, by the time the paperwork got cleared up and the airline acknowledged Bryan wasn’t a threat, his plane had already departed and the boy had to wait until the next day to make that first flight.

According to TSA, NO children are on the No Fly List and Brian’s airline SHOULD have let the child get on the plane. But Bryan’s experience is not a singular one. There have been reports of 4 year olds, toddlers, and even infants being hassled at the gate!

Poor Brian. But it makes for a pretty good story. There’s only one thing missing from it: common sense!
