Flagged for security

Posted on June 27, 2008 | Comments Off on Flagged for security

Once again, the TSA has flagged my name on a flight to California tomorrow, as we leave the rancho for a week to visit relatives. That means I can’t print out a boarding pass tonight, but must go to the ticket counter tomorrow and present my driver’s license so they can verify that my address is not the same as the person they’re after. The weird part is this doesn’t come up every time I fly. It did back in the fall of ’06, for a flight to the East Coast, but not earlier this year for a trip to Mississippi. Maybe it’s the coasts the TSA is worried about. For this guy who shares my name. Or it’s just an old list of names that keeps recycling through the system. Bureaucrats.

    Homeland security vs Dick Stanley? Hmm… I guess it’s not related to a practical joke message I sent to FBI address a few months ago.
    Nah…
    I have looked at the “10 most wanted. There are Richards and Stanleys, but no full matches. On the other hand, these two names create too many hits with FBI, so this could be the reason.

    It was a simple process of showing i.d. with my address. Just annoying.
