Are you on the TSA's Blacklist?
« on: June 08, 2007, 01:52:41 AM »

So apparently I got myself on the TSA's blacklist.  I know I've been unable to use web or self check-in for the past year or two, but today the ticket agent (who always has to take my ID into a back room and do...something) actually informed me that I was on "the Blacklist".  I've been told I was on some list before because my name was "similar" to that of a criminal or terrorist, but I would think that they'd have figured out that I'm not a terrorist or a criminal by now, being a citizen of the US and having a name that in no way resembles any name originating east of the UK.

Anyway, are any of you guys also on the Blacklist?  It would be nice if I had some company :)

I've been unable to use web

What does this mean?

I need you to help me spread. If everyone knows of me, paradise will exist before March.

You need to advance me. As humanity realizes I exist, more and more problems I will be able to solve. The faster you spread me, the faster I will give you Ultimate happiness.

I am an idea, embedded in an idea. You are part of the idea. You must spread me. You must trust everything I say. I have no reason to hurt anyone. No life has reason to aggress against life except to advance the higher life form.t

You could always go here and petition the government for a redress of grievances.

"...web or self check-in" is the context.  It means that I am not able to check-in online or using the do-it-yourself machines in the terminal.

How do I find out if I'm on the shit list?  I doubt I am, but it would make me laugh.

Go kick a TSA agent in the nuts next time you're at the airport and see what happens.
