It seems that an Irish name will also get you on the List. Or maybe it’s because I supported Kerry in the last election? Who knows? Who will ever know? Only some freshly appointed, brown shirts of questionable qualification who can effectively put anyone under permanent house arrest without a fair judicial hearing for secret reasons. Chilling, isn’t it. Best, then, to Play it Safe and Not Stand Out. All this in the nation that would teach the world what “Liberty” means. First we need to teach ourselves what “Secret Police” means. Because we have them now and they won’t be easy to get rid of.

I fly over 100,000 miles a year a get red flaged everytime by the TSA system. I even missed a flight form BKK to Tokyo because the airline agent was unfamiliar with the procedures to follow to board me. When I called the TSA’s toll free number the person I spoke to was rude and asked me to fill out a Passenger Identity Verification Form (which I already sent to TSA) I will have to try sending the form certified since T.S.A. I asked the TSA agent(Anita) if there was someone I could write to and was told you can write to us but, it won’t do a thing. She suggested I write My senator. Can anyone offer any suggestions for my situation.

I was traveling on business with several of my associates. I was the only one that was not able to check in with my eticket. No one could tell me why I was on the list. and now….it looks like I will not be easy to get off the list. JUST HOW OFTEN ARE THESE LISTS UPDATED AND WHAT METHODS ARE USED TO ENSURE ACCURACY OF THE UPDATES!

I cannot process my ticket or board a plane without being processed by an agent because my “name is on a list” as the airline representatives usually tell me. I have no idea why would that be except for my name, pure and simple, which is discrimination by any standard.
