Secure Flight wasn't made for people like me.

On the 15th, my legal name change will hopefully go through.

On the 19th or 20th, I hope to go visit listener. Using a flight credit from last time I tried that (and had to cancel, because of my back), which is stored on my JetBlue account. Under my current name

this is me just being obnoxious, but I kind of love the idea of the TSA looking for a jewish trans muslim extremist TERRORIST!!1!

<3 hotness vs. busted descriptions

Rrrgh. At least it sounds like it'll all work out in the end, even if it involved ridiculous time on the phone sorting it out.

Hope everything goes smoothly with both the name change and the flight stuff!

PS I'm super excited for you to visit!

I am super excited too!

Except for the hold time, I'm impressed that JetBlue seemed capable of giving you a useful answer. I feel like most airlines would have said "uhh buh guh pants?"

I did talk to two people, and the second of them, as soon as I described my situation, went for the "hold on, I need to consult with an associate". She sounded kind of cheerful to have something interesting come up.

Hooray for you coming to visit!

TSA has a procedure for if you loose your wallet:

1) you tell the desk person 'I've lost my wallet/it was stolen'
2) they write a very simple code on the back of your boarding pass (like T33 or something like that - my Dad found it once onlinew/ TSA's training materials)
3) you go through security & put you through a few extra checks to make sure you don't have anything dangerous

BTW, my dad thought this was possibly the dumbest procedure you could possibly come up with as it could allow someone on the do-not-fly list to fly very easily...
