TSA just checks the validity of the identification used to enter the secure area at the gate. There is no way for the people running airport security to check names against the do not fly list. The actual comparison of names to the do not fly list is done through a computer program when tickets are entered.
...and the airline usually has the final say over whether a passenger with a name on the do not fly list can board. Usually, it just involves someone who has the same name as someone on the list.
It would be possible for a sympathetic person at Emirates to override the do not fly list.
Thanks for the info. 1 of the few really rational posts.
We can’t blame Uhbama for everything, or we’ll be called on the carpet for everything.
