At least they're catching lots of citizens with unfortunately coincidental names.

So Dingo (not his real name) is still apparently on the no-fly list, or at least someone with the same name is. I'm glad the TSA is keeping us safe from midwestern 6 year-olds, but it does slow us down in airports. My understanding is that anyone under 12 who shows up on the list can be cleared by the airline agents without having to call the TSA, which is exactly what happens eventually, but I can't check us in at the self-service counter; we have to stand in line and wait to talk to someone and show extra IDs and let them question him about how old he is, etc. He's 47" tall and weighs 55 pounds and is missing his lower front teeth and when asked, says he lives in "Tuw-sa" How the fuck old does it seem like he is? They have to manually clear him when boarding the plane too. It's weird.

Maybe I should actually change his name to Dingo. I bet that would fix it. Surely there aren't a lot of terrorists with his last name and the first name Dingo.

LOL! I hope you all had a good time, with the exception of the traveling woes. :)

It's a relief to know the authorities are finally protecting the general public from all those marauding six year old children. It's about time!

Seriously though what a pain.
