I don't think it was a plot against Senator Ted Kennedy, but I do believe it was done intentionally to show how easily the TSA and the Patriot Act can impede the fortunes of the masses.

If you are a regular flyer who makes money with your commutes, being put on a no fly list will hamper your ability to make a living. If you are socially active and you become deathly ill requiring your transportation by plane, placement on a no fly list can get you killed.

It does not matter who is in power as power corrupts everyone, but the legal existance of a no fly list jeapordizes the oppositions ability to function at the discretion of those that control the no fly list.
