I think I'm on the terrorist watch list

I request veggie meals and I have a red flag on my passport. I try to sit over-wing because I heard the plane was thicker but I don't request it.
I'm glad my husband doesn't read the daily mail because he would be p*ssed if he was on it too for being married to me!!

How do you know you have a red flag on your passport?

Whenever I arrive at Heathow Border Control without my husband that's the reason they give as to why I should take a seat.
But with a refused visa a couple years ago I don't exactly have a squeaky clean immigration record either.

That's not the same thing as being on a "war-on-terror" watch list.

You're asked to wait because of your prior refusal.  I get the same thing because I had my initial FLR refused as well. 
Love your life, poor as it is. You may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours, even in a poorhouse. The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the almshouse as brightly as from the rich man’s abode; the snow melts before its doors as early in the spring. Cultivate property like a garden herb, like sage. Do not trouble yourself much to get new things, whether clothes or friends. Turn the old; return to them. Things do not change; we change. Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts…
