I was put on the No-Fly list
Yesterday I tried to check-in at SEA with UA's Mr. Easy-Chicken machine and it said "see agent". So I go to the line and TA says your on the no-fly list. What?
I have a very common name, and as American as John Smith.
I am UA 1K, fly just about every week and never had a problem until yesterday.
I am a "Registered Traveller" from LAX where they have already done a background check. Granted it wasn't LAX, but I would think it is (or should be) tied to my MP number. Although I know it has been a test thing forever (and pretty much useless to me so far).
Anyhow I gave her my drivers license she made a call and after the call said, your middle name saved you.
I am surprised she told me I was on the list, although I would have asked why she needed to call since it has never happened before. I said I suppose now I get SSSS'd. Nope, everything went fine after that.
