COME FLY WITH US

We haven’t made the government’s “no fly” watch list. Not yet anyway. Edward Allen has. He’s four years old. James Moore, who’s considerably older, has been on the list for a year. “I will never be told the official reason,” he writes. “No one ever is.” Clayton Patterson, a Lower East Side activist friend of ours with a long history of arrests, tells us “being targeted is scary. I’m not sure people understand this.” That’s experience talking, and of course they don’t. On Nov. 2, 2004, “a majority of American voters stuck its head up its ass,” as we noted at the time, and “will have only itself to blame … for failing to appreciate what’s to come.”
