The face of a terrorist?

Kansas City 8-Year-Old Shows Up On No-Fly Terrorist List

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- An 8-year-old Kansas boy is causing a national security stir after his name popped up on a no fly list and airlines banned him from flying in fear he might be a terrorist.

Bryan Moore's mother said she couldn't believe what she was hearing when her son couldn't fly home from a trip to see his sister, because his name appeared on a terrorist no-fly list.

Bryan had never flown before, so when he got to the airport in Cortez, Colorado he was a little nervous but no one expected what happened next.

"They almost got me scheduled in and then the lady just bowed her head and said, 'We cant get you on this plane, you're a terrorist,'" Bryan said.

Bryan's name popped up on a national terrorist watch list, red flagging the soon-to-be third grader as a threat to homeland security.
