TSA Blocks Ted Williams From Boarding Plane

Apparently the TSA does not care about feel-good stories; they have blocked Ted Williams, a man who was homeless just two days ago, from boarding an airplane because of "lack of identification."  Williams was scheduled to fly to New York to see his 92-year-old mother, who he has not seen in years, and do an interview with NBC.

The New York Daily News continues:
Ted Williams, 53, had expected to fly to New York to do a live interview on the "Today Show" tomorrow morning and see his 92-year-old mom after years apart.
But TMZ reported that airport officials will not let him board a plane because he doesn't have proper identification to make the trip. Instead, he spent the afternoon at a Columbus, Ohio, courthouse trying to obtain a copy of his birth certificate, the site said.
And here is the video that made Mr. Williams an internet sensation (which now has over 11,000,000 views):
