Flyertalkers Truly Are Everywhere
So as many of you know (because it's my favorite topic of conversation) I'm a law student. Today I was minding my own business before class started and my Education Law professor walked up to me. Of course I immediately worried I was in trouble for something but instead he said "you're CMK10". I was at a complete loss for words and I asked him how he knew and he said "oh I've been on Flyertalk longer than you have". 
We ended up having a talk about the merits of Hyatt vs. Marriott, a nice way to start my morning.

I think through deductive reasoning. He mentioned seeing my post here:

And I do have a FT tag on my backpack that I carry around school. Plus, there are pictures of me in my Trip Reports so it probably wasn't too difficult.

I've never had a student who was an FTer. (I use enough examples from the air travel industry that I think a frequent flyer would identify himself or herself.) However, I did have one ex-American Airlines employee who recognized the Executive Platinum luggage tag on my backpack. As best I recall, he got a pretty good grade - though not for that reason.

I saw an FTer with her yellow luggage tags this morning in the Global Entry line at YVR airport. Due to the frenzy, I really couldn't have a conversation. But it was cool to spot someone from FT!

This could be a blessing or a curse!
