Alissa AzarGoing out of town for a few weeks before my trial next month and here we go again. They said they can’t check me into my flight. Waiting as they figure it out 🫠 I wish they would just be honest instead of pretending like they don’t know what’s going on.
Just as I hit publish on that post I overheard them saying they’re going to TSA to alert them. In the past they’ve done this over the phone but it still takes forever
They’re waiting for someone specific with TSA to be ready for me and need to search my bag before I can get checked in.
This is new. They’re asking me to write down my address and email on a paper?
They just blamed this entire shit show on spelling my middle name wrong as if that information isn’t right in front of my eyes with zero errors. They gave the exact same excuse last time lol.
Was finally able to check in after over an hour.
Soon after I got pulled away by someone with TSA who said I was their "special guest" today. First they took me to the side of TSA and made me remove all of my electronics to prove that they turn on. After this, he took my phone from me and escorted me to a security line that was closed off to everyone else. This was all already so odd that everyone was starting. I went thru one of the detector things twice, then they made me go thru a second one. After that they pulled me aside to do an invasive pat down and then I waited as they inspected all of items one by one and swabbed everything for explosive reside.
someone with DHS came over to me as l waited to chat it up. He was acting like my friend and was even flirting a bit it seemed, and "casually" getting in questions about my plans, where I'm staying, who I'm staying with, if I was alone or not.
lol. Now they don’t let me on the airplane until DHS comes to give me stamp
Apologies to anyone who this is probably so repetitive to, but I promised myself I would always share these experiences because regardless how used to it I may be, it is anything but normal or ok. Today has actually been so humiliating and infuriating. I got so angry l've been having to hold in tears. Idk why it’s pissing me off more than usual
J.Sʜᴀʀᴘ🌍🇺🇦Fʀᴇᴇᴅᴏᴍ&DᴇᴍᴏᴄʀᴀᴄʏIt sounds like you're on some sort of watch list.
It sounds dreadfull. I'm sorry to hear you're going thru it.
Good luck.
@JSharp1436 yeah I was told explicitly in October that I’m marked by DHS smh
You need to somehow address their concerns with them, otherwise you'll get this treatment everytime. It's almost racist.
The very idea that trump is in effect a russian agent and he's treated with preferential treatment is ridiculous!
The whole world's gone mad.
saph@alissaazar jesus that sounds scary. sorry you had to go through that.
@cleonyc it’s really frustrating but I’m ok 🖤 unfortunately I’m very used to it but I try to remind myself that just because it feels normal to me doesn’t mean it’s ok
