I’ve been asked those questions for some other reason, I think having to do with my credit reports. My guess is that TSA gets their questions from the same source. There are a lot of them - which bank did I get a mortgage from in 1988, where did I get a car loan in 2015 ,when did I pay off some mortgage or loan , what job did I start in 1994 and the phone numbers. I’ve probably been asked 20 different questions at one time or another.
Same story with my Corfu olive oil. Yes we should have put it in the checked bags but we didn’t and flying out of Europe we didn’t think it would be American style security checks. So some Venetian security guard has a free bottle of Greek olive oil.
One time there was an unattended bag in the food court of my local international airport. I told a TSA officer about it just like the every-five-minute announcement said to. He said to me, “Did you try to find out whose it is?” I said no and his reply was, “What do you want me to do about it?”
I’d have to look at a map to see what’s closest. However, I can name the middle school and the two high schools(and the streets in order) that are on one of my regular riding routes. I would hope that suffices.
Curious thing at the TSA-Pre line this week: the agent machine-scanned my Real-ID compliant driving license but did NOT ask to see/scan my boarding pass to enter the secure zone. Either they’ve changed a requirement, or the airline is already feeding into their system the info of ticketed Trusted Travelers?
I had the same thing happen and my driver’s license isn’t even Real ID compliant. The screener just scanned my driver’s license but didn’t look at the boarding pass. They may do an automated match to a list of Pre-Chek passengers.
Isn’t this how Repo Man ends?
