I do not believe I am a criminal either but apparently Mr. Ashcroft
feels that someone with my name may be. Even though I am a Delta
Medalion flyer, over the past 6 months I have been pulled out of line by
airport security for "special" search four times. Once accompanied by
two policemen. A ticket agent finally told me that my name is on the
National "No-Fly" list and that I should expect to be watched and
subjected to additional searches any time I fly.

As I understand it, there is no way to find out why I am on the list and
there is no way to get off it.

OTOH, it can have an advantage. In Seattle, because the ticket agent
called the cops before I entered the line for normal security, I
actually made it to the airplane before the other people in my group.
