It must stink to have a name matching a no-fly list name

An Alitalia jet en route from Milan to Boston was diverted to Maine on Tuesday because the name of a passenger on board matched that of a person on the U.S. government's no-fly list, officials said.

That flight continued to Boston less than two hours later after the passenger of interest was detained by federal immigration officials, along with three of his family members. The four were later released and allowed to continue their trip after officials determined the man was not the one on the no-fly list.

I cannot imagine what this guy must go through any time he tries to travel.

You were lucky. Imagine the embarassment as they re-route your plane and federal agents escort you out along with your family. It had to be pretty scary for any children.
