August 23, 2008 | United States | Vetting explained
Since 9-11, my name has appeared on the "no-fly" list. I am unable to check-in online or even at the kiosks in the airport. The screen always tells me to see the gate agent for further instruction.
Once I provide all my documents (I carry my passport even flying domestically) I am cleared. I finally asked an agent why this keeps happening. All she could offer me was that my name is on the list and I will always have to check-in in person until this gets cleared up??? I didn't understand her answer then and I don't understand it now.
I've never been denied flying because of it but it is a hassle and embarassing.
Interestingly enough, when I check in internationally, I never have this issue.
