Do you have a pilot's license? Are you on an airline watch list?
I have found that I am on a watch list and so cannot check in for an airline flight at the automated kiosk. I need a live person to check my ID and issue my boarding pass. I wondered for a while why and then remembered, I have a private pilot's license. I and not current and have not flown (as pilot) for almost 20 years, and have moved without notifying the FAA. Do you suppose that is why I am on the watch list? Do you think notifying the FAA of my new address would help? Or am I on this watch list for good?
I almost always fly with my whole family and I am the only one on the watch list. So it has got to be the pilot's license. In their view I would have the ability to take over control of the plane like the 9/11 terrorists did. What I would really like to know is if there are any people with pilot's licenses who are not on a watch list, and if they are current and have notified the FAA of their new address, current or not.

It's not your license. TSA does not cross-reference FAA databases. In fact, TSA does not cross-reference its own databases. (Jet charter pilots--with active ATP certificates-- already have fingerprints and other info on file in a TSA charter pilot database under the so-called "twelve five" program. However, the airline passenger screening process does not access that database. Stupid, but that's the unfortunate reality of it.) Your name is similar to someone else's, or your tickets are one-way and purchased close to departure time, etc. File a TIV (Traveler Identity Verification) form, available online at TSA website and return it to TSA. That might help.

could be since the Feds govern the list. if you haven't notified the FAA within 30 days of your address change then as far as they're concerned your certificate doesn't exist.
You might want to let them know by writing them at this address:
Federal Aviation Administration
Airmen Certification Branch, AFS-760
P.O. Box 25082
Oklahoma City, OK 73125-0082
hope you get taken off soon.

Has nothing to do with your PPL.
Most likely your travel habits and/or your name is identical to someone on the watch list. I know-I was on it.
You can go to http://www.tsa.gov/ and get the forms to get off the list. It takes about a month, but it's worth it.
NO it is not. Your NAME is linked or identical somehow to someone who IS. Especially if it's a common name.
Has nothing to do with your PPL- I have friends who have PPLs and civilian ATPs and they aren't on watch lists.
Instead of speculating why don't you FIND OUT by contacting an airline to see?
