Yesterday's online edition of Time says that the name on the no-fly
list was Youssouf Islam, not Yusuf Islam.  They were looking for
somebody else.

I suppose that puts him in good company with at least three members of
Congress and (according to the same article) an air marshall who
wasn't allowed to fly for several weeks due to a similar mistake.
