“I wonder how many of these guys are on the No Fly List???”
Probably none of them.
I and probably several hundred thousand got on the list with my common Judeo/Christian first name and a common Anglo Saxon Surname.
So I made up a brochure with copies of pre 911 and post 911 passports. Copies of my Honorable Discharge, copies of my top secret crypto clearance, white house clearance, nothing police record wise and copy of a high credit rating.
When I got flagged down, I would pull out the brochure and go through each point with the TSA supervisor and then hand them a simple one page, possible answer to as why I was on the no fly list.
“A honorable discharged vet, who was married over 40 years to the Mother of his children and an active Christian with not even a speeding ticket.”
The TSA supervisors would grin, apologize and let me on. Later one said to keep the stuff and just show the copies of my passports. After that I was waved through.
WOW! Seriously???? You were on the no fly list???
You’re not supposed to carry your clearance info with you when travelling.
