San Fran reporter discovers he's "on the list"
"YOU MIGHT not realize it, but your government might be targeting you for an extra little dose of hell next time you try to board an airplane.
So I thought.
Then, in recent weeks, my attempts to print advance boarding passes have twice been rejected with ominous instructions to "see ticket agent at airport counter." So, instead of breezing to security with my carry-on bag, I was stuck in long waits among throngs of travelers with temperaments as stressed as the seams of their bulging suitcases. Each time, the agent -- after checking my I.D. and asking a few questions and consulting with a supervisor -- let it drop that this inconvenience was due to the fact that my name popped up on 'the watch list'."
