The TSA seems to be forgetting that the 9/11 terrorists used their real IDs and had proper BPs!.

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.

For those of us non-americans, what on earth are they going to check against?

I predict non-citizens will be forced to produce their passports, and not have the option to be compared to their Lexis-Nexis image.

It make me nauseous to think that my tax dollars are even going to pay for this idiotic web site. First you have to pay for crappy security, then you have to pay for the idiots running it to tell us all what a wonderful job they are doing. :mad:
We should ALL be sick at the fraud that is TSA.

They would like you to think so, Comrade.
