OMG terracore! That’s the funniest thing I’ve seen in a long time!
Just to show you how diabolical TSA can be, several weeks ago I escorted my neighbor to Oahu for a medical appointment. Unfortunately, she got her brand new renewed State of Hawaii ID card and forgot to put it in her wallet. Her old ID card was 3 weeks expired.
Now mind you, this lady could be the Merriam-Webster Dictionary definition of a Native Hawaiian Tutu. Plus she knows about 80% of everybody at the airport.
But not that day. After initially being refused entry, and after talking to 3 other TSA workers a supervisor comes over and says “she’s ok guys. Let her thru.”
For a moment there, I think a few of those TSA boys thought they had a big fish terrorist for sure!
As for me being on one of their lists, I think you’re right. Back in 2015, on the day before New Year’s Eve going into 2016, my employer (in California) summoned me for an emergency signature requirement on some legal paperwork that absolutely positively had to be signed and filed by midnight of December 31st
So I arranged to have someone from the office meet me at LAX and took the red eye flight out of Kona to LAX that got into LAX at around 5AM. I met the employee, signed the paperwork and went back into LAX and got on the 9AM flight and back to Kona at about noon.
I was immediately met with TSA and Hawaii County Police who asked lots and lots of questions. The only baggage I had was my purse and laptop. Made me wait until each and every checked bag was claimed. Asked repeatedly why I would fly to California and back in a few hours. Initially they did not believe me, but eventually let me go.
Got another visit from the police 2 days later at home in the Acres again asking why I flew back and forth to California. I was able to then show the officers a PDF scan of what documents I went there to sign and have not heard from them since. I’m even TSA PreCheck. But for sure, I know TSA has their diabolical eyes on me watching my every move!
