I’ll start chronicling my adventure through the TSA.
Monday, after I was notified that I was a suspected terrorist, I asked the gate agent, “Is this going to happen again?” I was told nonchalantly as if this happens all the time, “Yes, probably.” She took a luggage tag and wrote on the back, “TSA.Gov,” and said, “It takes a while to get off but start here.”
I went off, found my gate and got connected to the Internet. I looked up TSA.gov and found a site with this title: The Traveler Redress Inquiry Program. Apparently, after the TSA unilaterally puts you on their list, you have the ability to plead with them to take you off. You do this by sending them copies of your passport, drivers license and other government issued IDs. Hey, don’t you think they may already have access to all of those? Don’t you think they could have figured out I am who I am BEFORE they put me on their damn list?
If I was a terrorist, I would be called “alleged” even though I had been witnessed as actually having done something. If I was a terrorist, I would be innocent until proven guilty! However, because my name somehow is an alliteration of someone elses, I’m guilty until I can prove my innocence!
Is it just me or does anyone else see anything wrong with this picture?
Of course there’s something wrong with it.
It was devised by the Educated! That’s why YOU don’t get it. See?
