DYKWIA?
 

If there were long lines at the ticket counters, I just walked right up to the counter and said to whoever was working there, “I need to see a manager, I am Bin Laden” (Intentionally using the wrong pronunciation of my name). There’d be a flurry of activity, a manager would appear from the back office, I’d show my ID and tell them we would need to override the stop on my ticket. They had to call the FBI, who did some magical thing in the background that allowed me to get on the plane. And I didn’t wait in the line…Ha!

My old friend Ben may need to find a new trick.

I'd be interested in knowing how long it is until he can fly without problems.

You mean, other than having to deal with TSA idiocy, right?

It's probably easier for him than Osama's actual brother, who, IIRC, is a physician in Boston with no ties to the deceased terrorist leader what so ever.
