Getting off the watch list
 

I have been on some sort of watch list which prevents me from checking in on-line or through kiosks with Continental Airlines since early December. I fly more than 100 segments per year on CO, so I don't know why I am on this list. Anyways, after this happened for the 4th time in December, the CO agent gave me a memo telling me to call TSA and initiate a procedure to get off the list. The TSA says this would take 45 days from the time that I fill out some paper work. However, I have yet to receive any paperwork or other documentation from TSA with regards to this, and the check in snafus at CO continue.

One strange thing is that when I check in for other airlines, I'm not on any watch list and see no problems or delays checking in on-line or through their respective kiosks. So it looks like this watch list has some loopholes.

To be honest, I haven't figured out if this is a CO or a TSA problem that is causing this annoyance. I wonder if I should just get a new frequent flier account at CO and see if that causes me the same watch list problems.

If you are not having problems with any other airline (and not being SSSSed when you fly with them) I would presume that CO has made a mistake.
