i saw something interesting on my flight back from chicago last night. the NW agent at MDW didn't call the "random" customers by name, he only called them by seat number.

IE: "would 16D, 12B, and 5F please report to the podium"

i noticed that NOBODY got up and went for the rubber glove treatment. so the agent called the seats again, in the same way. one person went to the table.

i had gotten my EUA and boarded when FC was called. the elites had not been called, but 5F had pushed his way into line anyway, and was NOT the one who had gone for the secondary inspection. was standing right behind him, and it was easy to see his BP.

the agent pulling BPs was the same one who had made the announcements for the "random" passengers. not only did he not send the coach seat back while FC was boarding, he didn't recognize the seat as one called for the secondary inspection.

so my question is this: have you ignored being called at the gate? doesn't look to me like being called creates a flag of any kind...
