NFT: No fly list

MtChas : 9/18/2014 5:12 pm
Anyone know where online they can check to see if they are on the 'No Fly' list?
17 Months ago I had no problem in Missoula Mt heading to Seattle for an Andre Rieu concert. My ticket cleared the computer, no sweat.
I don't want to talk about my Seattle eastbound experience. Kiosk refused my ticket and said 'See the Lady'. Lady said I was on the No Fly list. She claimed some times there is a random search. BS. It may have been random, but it was a bastard. Even got invited to a private room by the TSA guy.
I would hate to fly to Vegas, find out I am on the list and then have to come home Greyhound.
Call them?

can't imagine not letting you fly without a proper reason.

I was allowed to fly after I passed the extra search.. Thank God I was extra early otherwise I would have missed my flight. The invite to a private room is really suspicious.
All I had was a small soft 12" bag with an electric razor, shaving lotion, stick of deodorant, soap in a plastic box, plastic bag w/pair of dirty socks, and one pair used shorts (not dirty), Samsung 10.1 tablet, cell phone, and an envelope w/concert ticket stubs and a boarding pass.
I was only in Seattle 14 hours
No way to know beforehand

the Federal Govt has promised to revise the way No Fly List redress requests are handled, but I don't think any changes have been implemented yet.

The TSA Redress page linked above is your best bet for now.
I think its safe to say

that anyone that checks their names on the list (if such a list search exists), will ultimately end up on the list.

Academy grad who served honorably and as far as I can surmise, works for the government.

Who better to profile?
You want to check if your name is on the list?

That information is classified.

They will not confirm or deny that you are on a list or that any such list exists.
Just show up real early.

It would be a nice gesture and probably go a long way if you have your taint waxed the night before.
Was it like this?

Always like to listen to this before flying. NSFW language

Me, my wife and 2 daughters returned to JFK from the country of Jamaica.

At JFK upon showing our passports we were all escorted to another room for Q & A time! (Did not bring back pot, thank God.)

The reason we were detained was because of my last name. It's one of the most common in the US.

True story.
Could be worse

You sure you got the right guy?
Speaking to the poster that was detained while entering the country  
Hammer : 9/19/2014 7:02 am : link
I'm not sure if this is widely known but the 4th amendment is not applicable to individuals entering the country. Courts routinely hold that the government does not need probable cause to detain, search, and or seize an individual or his property when entering the country.

There are any number of documented instances where boarder security demands a person make their electronic records available for copying when entering the country, for instance. I have read that frequent business travelers routinely wipe the hard drives on their computers after uploading their information to the cloud before traveling to the USA from abroad.

Your right. Got confused with an old handle. Hard for us old guys to keep up sometimes.
