This is true. The TSA agent that shook me down couldn't believe that I was a CO Platt Elite. He said that I must have really done something egregious to deserve the mark of the S, since he rarely sees CO Elites get tagged. Still shaken by the invasive search, I wobbled over to a bench and called CO, since I was flying within my normal parameters. I let the agent know that we may have a mutual business concern if their unwarranted treats of serendipity at my expense continued.
