I bought the ticket in January, I paid by credit card, and my original flight was not cancelled, so I hope it was a case of just being unlucky. I hope I'm not on one of their lists. I really felt like I never wanted to fly again, it was that humiliating but I've got the same trip in two weeks and again in a month and a half, both of which have been booked and paid for quite some time. If a person is on one of their lists is there anyway to find out? I'm so glad the TSA is saving me from me. I feel much safer flying. If it happens again I will be more prepared and will know to take names and numbers. Thanks for your responses.
