Are You On Uncle Sam's No Fly List?
Your last name doesn't happen to be Nelson, does it? A few months ago, one of the local columnists (Margie Boule) in the Portland Oregonian wrote about the TSA list ("David Nelson, Could You Step Aside for a Few Moments?", Portland Oregonian, May 4, 2003). Seems that people named Dave Nelson are being asked to step aside for aditional screening at airports all over the country. I think she interviewed 18 people named Dave Nelson for the article, but that is just from memory. Anon wrote: Interesting. A couple weeks ago, I flew cross-country. I was inspected BOTH ways. A very thorough inspection where all the contents of my bag were removed, and all the contents of other containers were removed. (shaving kit, computer bag, etc.). On top of that, I was required to mostly undress and subjected to a thorough inspection with one of those hand-held wand thingies. It took me over a half hour to check in for my flights, and that's not counting waiting in line. I have not been a frequent flyer until recently. Now my job requires it. I'll bet after I post this I'm upgraded to "no fly" status because I dared to write about it. -Dave |

In Gordon and Adams' case, the ACLU believes the couple may have been targeted for their work on War Times, a free bilingual newspaper that has been critical of the war and the Bush administration's policies on terrorism. Of course this is the reason. The Bu****es are using 9/11 as an excuse to do anything they damn well please. For those who disagree, see http://www.reviewjournal.com/lvrj_ho.../22521283.html This is a story on how Ashcroft is using the Patriot Act as a excuse to crack down on a strip club. Whether you agree or not with public nudity, you cannot possibly tie it to terrorism. Casey The article in less than two paragraphs contradicts itself - ----------------- Sources said the FBI sought the records under Section 314 of the act. That section allows federal investigators to obtain information from any financial institution regarding the accounts of people "engaged in or reasonably suspected, based on credible evidence, of engaging in terrorist acts or money laundering activities." ..... Corallo said federal law enforcement officials have no qualms about using the act to pursue an array of criminal investigations that have nothing to do with terrorism, such as child pornography, drug trafficking and money laundering. ---------------- Note - the act says "...engaged in...or money laundering activities." and Corallo says "...nothing to do with terrorism, such as...money laundering." Give me a break. js |

Unfortunately, that is also the name of a fugitive which the Connecticut state police have been unable to find for the past three years. This causes a delay of one hour every time I try to fly out of Connecticut, which I do up to twice per month. This is totally unacceptable, but I have no recourse. -- Andy Williams |
