Coast Guard Inspections
My wife has had her luggage searched nearly every time she travels on
business. A TSA employee told her that it is probably because someone else purchased her ticket for her (her employer!). Having traveled a lot on business in the past, I'm scratching my head over this one, because every company I've worked for has purchased the airline tickets for business travel. Are they _really_ searching most business travelers luggage? Don W. Glenn Ashmore wrote: 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. |
