Why bother getting fake IDs in the first place if you are a suicide terrorist?
Obviously the TSA haven't understood anything of this type of mentality.
"self respecting terrorists" - I have never heard such nonsense !

Hehe. One who passed the final exams at Terror U. One who has been flying unimpeded for the last five years. One who has been attending all the Terror Talk DO's they can to meet up with other terrorists and compare notes. Ones who have all the airline elite cards and lounge access and who are indistinguishable from FT regulars.
Oooooh. They could be us! Except our thoughts are pure and theirs are evil.
Perhaps a better phrase is the "clever and competent" terrorist.

I can't find the thread where FYer's were talking about information from credit reports, so I decided to resurrect this thread.
Just now finished checking my credit reports, something I've never done before.
Experion had all information correct.
Equifax had former addresses and dates wrong but according to the website, I can't dispute that.
TransUnion - I can't even access my report because they apparently have incorrect former residence/employer information. As well, they apparently don't have a correct account number on one of my charge cards.
Hopefully, should I "lose" my ID before going through a TSA line, the service used to verify information won't be TransUnion.

OBL and the Gang believe their view of the world is the ONLY acceptable one. (Kind of like Shrub and HaliburtonII but I'm omniwandering OT 
). All who do not share their view are considered to be disrespecting their view, thus deserving of being killed. (That would be everyone but them.) Accordingly, since they only respect their own view, by definition terrorists are "self respecting". TSA got one right. ^ It just sounds dumb.

One would hope that the company providing information to the TSA about those who "forgot" their IDs is confident that its data is correct, else they are opening themselves up for a tremendous lawsuit if someone is kept off a plane because they could not provide the "correct" answer to an Inquisitor (a/k/a screener).
