Make your own business cards. The possibilities are endless! :D Sitting at lounge at ATL on a long layover, got talking a lovely couple from upper NY state. When we parted, we're doing the usual "hey, if you're ever in my neck of the woods...' bit. I'm taking out a notepad to write my name/email when the wife handed me a non-business business card. Had their names, photos, email, telephone number. I've also been given non-business cards by folks from Australia, several places in southeast Asia, and the UK. |

It is amusing, though, that as we've reached unprecedented levels of electronic automation that we'd introduce new paper-based methods of contact... kinda like how America spend a century paving 4M miles of roads and now people want SUVs so they can drive on dirt. Humans are weird. :D |

Basically personal calling cards. Very popular (even socially required) in Victorian times. Sooner or later everything comes back in fashion.

If I answer their questions, will they send me to the molestation line anyway?

People are getting excited about Trusted Traveler but it does not guarantee you will never be groped or NoS'd. |

If you answer the questions and WTMD or NoS are available, you are willing and able-bodied to use whichever is assigned to you, you do not alarm and you are not randomly selected, you may not get groped. |

My name on the card could be "Terrance Rist", and I could mention that everybody just calls me "Terry". :D You have to wonder if those subtle little jokes would be lost on the pizza box brethren. |

Do you perhaps mean Laika? Because I'm all for giving the entire agency that particular treatment. We need a space program again...

What a great opening line for a campaign speech that could make- "Not so very long ago our government reached for the heavens, but now our government has been reduced to grasping for the most private areas of it's own citizens".

"Where have you been?"
In town. "Do you have a business card" Yes. "What were you doing here?" Confidential company business. "Sir, if you don't answer, you won't fly today. What were you doing here?" If I tell you, it may violate SEC laws & regulations and will violate company confidentiality. Are you willing to sign a non-disclosure agreement and be investigated and prosecuted if you disclose insider information? "Uh..." "Do you have a business card". Yes. "May I see it?" No, because of what I told you before. "Where are you going?" To my congressman's office promptly upon arrival. "SECONDARY ON LINE 1" ................ This is going to be hell for folks that travel on confidential company business (such as investments, M&A, major sales calls) where disclosing your name & company and/or reasons for travel may cause SEC disclosure issues. |
