A family said they have been left 'humiliated' after they were ordered off a flight because airline staff claimed their 18-month-old was on a no fly list.
The girl's parents, who did not wish to be identified, believe Jet Blue asked them to leave the flight as they thought little Riyanna was a terror suspect.
An employee approached the family and said officers from the Transport Security Agency at the Fort Lauderdale Airport wished to speak with them.
The girl's mother told WPBF she asked 'For what?' and the employee said: 'It's not you or your husband. Your daughter was flagged as no fly.'
Her husband added: 'It made no sense. Why would an 18-month-old child be on a no-fly list?'
