He then asked me to step aside and not pass and called for sup. I then asked if I was being detained and why and was told you had to pronounce name. 3-stripe came about 5 min later and asked me to say my name. I asked why I was being detained illegally and under what authority they were refusing me to pass. She said it was policy to pronounce a name. I said I complied with the requirements to provide identification and boarding pass. She said she could not identify me from the global entry ID. I said here is my drivers license which has same information and why were they refusing to honor a federal ID. Eventually I passed thru screening but I never gave my name. I later put in a TSA complaint and was told it is not policy and they cannot detain you and the global entry should have been honored. As usual, no apology for the invention of screening policy.
Somebody on [MENTION=19915]TSA[/MENTION] was crowing about this just today. All he had to do is show his ID, no BP, and "answer a question". When asked what the question was, he said he was asked his name. He obviously has absolutely no idea how ridiculous this version of security theater is.
