I just wanted to let my readers know that according to the omnipotent, or is it impotent, Transportation Security Administration, I'm a terrorist.  Yep, it's true.  I've earned the dubious honor of being nominated for the TSA's “No-Fly” list.  Little old me is considered a terrorist.  A guy who was born in Pittsburgh, PA; joined the US Navy right out of high-school; and has done work for the IRS is not allowed to board an airplane without a note from his mommy (or in this case, Uncle Sam.)  I'm stuck in the San Francisco airport right now waiting for a supervisor to clear me.  What a massive steaming pile of BS this is.  I browsed the TSA website to find the procedure to get removed from the list.  The long and short of it is, you can't.  They can “streamline” the check-in process, but the website says NOTHING about removing you from the list. 

I travel almost every week for work.  This will be a huge pain for me.  I'm hoping that I don't miss any flights or that it doesn't start impacting my work.  If it does, I'm hoping that I have some legal recourse.

I'm so pissed-off right now I'm not sure where this rant will lead, except to say please let me know if you have any ideas on how to help remedy this situation.  You can reach me at michmill@anacail.com.
