To the BASTARD who's name is so close to mine that I now can't fly without gettin' reamed up the ASS, F*CK YOU!!! I just spent nearly an HOUR on "hold" until I finally got a friendly government fellow (We had the same birthday!) to take my info and assure me "it's been forwarded to the office of the Ombudsman. You will hear from them soon. Just fill out the form and this will all be taken care of." RIGHT! NO MORE PRINTING MY BOARDING PASS AT HOME! I CAN'T EVEN USE THE KIOSKS! DAMNATION HELLFIRE & TARNATION!! And to think I flew 130K miles last year and NOT ONCE did I hijack a plane! ................Bob

Good luck in working it out....

If it helps, you are in good company....didn't (among others) Ted Kennedy and the dude formerly known as Cat Stephens have the same problem? What a complete [glow=red,2,300]B E O T CH[/glow]!

To the BASTARD who's name is so close to mine that I now can't fly without gettin' reamed up the ASS, F*CK YOU!!! [/size] So, what did the "other" Bob do to get himself (and you) on the No Fly List? Did they at least give you an explanation?

I've been thinking about what a hassle this must be and I wonder how many people have gotten caught in the paranoia like Bob did. Gosh, that really bites. It seems to me that with so many people in the world with common names (c'mon, how many Maria Garcia's and Robert Smith's are there in the world?) there ought to be a better way for airport security personnel to identify those citizens of the world who are considered dangerous enough to be banned from flying. In addition to the name maybe the person's passport number or other similar ID number should be flagged as well.
Hope they clear your name soon.

Maybe now you get a bit of a taste of what life is like on the "other" side. Last few months, you're screaming "fuck 'em, kill them all, they have no rights!" "Lock them up in Guantimo Bay! We'll get to thier trial eventually! Now you're on the "no fly" list and you want all kinds of constitutional protection!!! But, BOB, it's national security!! So it's al OK!
Bob, you are such an Idiot. I love saying that, but love even more the fact thaat you are now feeling the full impact of the "Patriot Act"
