Default Thank you AA and TSA (not)

About a year ago I flew American Airlines. I ran into an issue at
check in and complained to the supervisor at the terminal check in. I
made a bit of a stink about them wanting to charge me an additional
$50.00 because they claimed I did not get there in time. I actually
did, in my opinion, but it was their huge line and understaffing that
made me miss my plane.

On my return flight a few days later I am 'randomly selected for
additional screening'. I have flown a half dozen times since last
August and am picked every time now for this "random screening".

So I believe I am now on this list for sticking up for what I
believed
was a wrong doing on American Airlines part.

My last flight they took my shoes and scanned them for chemicals.
Apparently there was trace residue from me fertalizing my lawn. That
was interesting being asked why chemicals were on my shoes.

So I went to the TSA and filled out the online form. But will they
take me off the list? Who knows what BS the person at American
Airlines must have done from me disputing the $50.00 credit card
charge. I wish I could remember this lady's name that gave me a hard
time.

Big Brother is here and we are slowly loosing our freedoms. The two
lists maintained by the TSA are secret and you have no way of knowing
you were put on one (out of revenge, or legitimately).

Where have you been? This has been going on for years.
The more you complain, the worse they'll screw you over.

How do you dispute a credit card charge that was charged for exactly
whaT you authorized it to be charged for?

Easily. It's credit card fraud, potentially resulting in criminal
charges, but the process is fairly easy to initiate.
