    Reminds me of the US No Fly List.

    No idea how your name gets on there. Impossible to remove. Every attempt to fly is a humiliation

      so, right after 9/11 i had to fly every 8 weeks for medical treatment. and somehow SLC put me on their Suspicious Travelers List because they’re creeps in Utah. They put a mark on my ticket that indicated me for extra searches every time i flew (until i yelled at the TSA and told them I was flying for medical treatment and threatened to sue them for harassment. i wasn’t, i didn’t want a lawsuit, but it got the searches to stop). they’d toss my bags and pat me down at security and sometimes also at the gate. every fucking time i flew, because i was too deathly ill to stand up for myself.

      never got that treatment in SFO.

      But don’t worry social credit systems where you’re barred from public transport is so dystopian only the Chinese do it.
