Trivia

When Denny Crane is put on the "No-Fly" list by the Transportation Safety Administration of the US Department of Homeland Security, it is because he has the same name as a suspected terrorist. The suspected terrorist is "a Canadian citizen who converted to Islam and took up Jihad". Denny Crane is played by William Shatner who is himself a Canadian born actor.
