Nun Spends 9 Months Trying to Get Free of No-Fly List
As the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' secretary for education, Sister Glenn Anne McPhee oversees Catholic education in the United States, from nursery school through post-graduate. For nine months in 2003 and 2004, Sister McPhee also took on the task of clearing her name from the government's no-fly list, an endeavor that proved fruitless until she called on a higher power, the White House. Sen. Edward Kennedy and former presidential candidate John Anderson both found that their names matched names on the no-fly list, but like McPhee, were able only to resolve the problem by contacting powerful officials.
