We have limited staff in our public affairs office, so being on FlyerTalk as much as I originally envisioned is much more difficult. But no, I have not given up.
I'll be sure to print this out and hand it to the next TSA ID checker that asks me to play the name game. But I doubt it will do any good and a supervisor will still have to be summoned because I refuse to play this silly and unnecessary game.
