Today's Webtip: Jetsetting Terrorist

Blogging about life in the special attention lane.

There are apparently quite a few ways to get unwanted attention from the TSA and its international equivalents.

Some are short-term and only last for a trip, others will get you on that list of special friends that needs to be watched very closely. Exactly what they are...

I guess we could call them known unknowns (For an idea of what we know, check out this article on The Intercept).

When it gets down do the effects of being on that list, well they are a little more well known. They can also be mildly amusing. In a dark, the world sucks and we will never change it humor kind of way.

To be honest, the guy is a bit of a jerk. But the information he provides is fairly interesting, and I know from my own experiences that situations like this can make it really hard to stay nice.

Personally, I like to read it and remind myself why to be thankful for every TSA interaction that doesn't absolutely suck.
