According to this article at MSNBC ... http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6232745/... all you need to do to get off a do-not-fly-list is modify your name in some way by adding a middle initial or a suffix. In other words, the folks responsible for the list are too stupid to figure out how to prevent false
positives, but a true terrorist can get off the list by adding a middle initial. This information comes directly from "TSA Spokesman Mark Hatfield" as quoted in the article. _______________________________________________ Politech mailing list Archived at http://www.politechbot.com/ Moderated by Declan McCullagh (http://www.mccullagh.org/) ------------------------------------- You are subscribed as interesting-people () lists elistx com To manage your subscription, go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/?listname=ip Archives at: http://www.interesting-people.org/archives/interesting-people/
