[Or become a U.S. senator? --Declan] -------- Original Message -------- Subject: how to get off a do-not-fly-list Date: Thu, 14 Oct 2004 21:16:26 -0400 (EDT) From: deleted To: Declan McCullagh <declan@private> References: <416C9EC0.9050401@private> Declan, (Please anonymize if posting to the list.) According to this article at MSNBC ... http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6232745/ ... all you need to do to get off a do-not-fly-list is modify your name in some way by adding a middle initial or a suffix. In other words, the folks responsible for the list are too stupid to figure out how to prevent false positives, but a true terrorist can get off the list by adding a middle initial. This information comes directly from "TSA Spokesman Mark Hatfield" as quoted in the article. _______________________________________________ Politech mailing list Archived at http://www.politechbot.com/ Moderated by Declan McCullagh (http://www.mccullagh.org/)
