Dec 2012

since 12/2001. I am there, according to the FBI agent, b/c a terrorist from South Yemen used my name as an alias. It has caused missed flights, being surrounded by cops in the terminal, delays, harassment, you name it. Yet, for most of that time, I could drive my un-inspected truck out onto the tarmac and load luggage onto my bosses private jet and take off. A terrorist just had to lease a private jet to do his dirty work while we were still taking off our shoes!
