So, the last time I flew, I couldn't check in through the computer kiosk because, the person behind the counter told me, my name matched that of someone on the watch list. But if my name matched, then how did they decide so easily it wasn't me? (And I had no trouble on the return trip.) And if it was the same name, did the other user of it steal it from me? Because it's not a name you'd think was common. Or was it really my name on the list for some reason (my visiting of leftist websites, perhaps)? None of it makes me feel any safer.
