Dear Robert Petty,
Thank you for contacting nwa.com Customer Service.
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is responsible for
security screening and has defined some specific guidelines for all
airlines to follow. One part of their security program involves
screening passengers through a random selection process. Due to these
regulations, it will be necessary for you to check in at an E-Service
Center or with a Northwest agent at the airport.
The selection process is mandated by the TSA. Please understand that
federal regulations prohibit airline representatives from sharing
specific information regarding security programs.
These safety precautions are in everyone's best interest, and in that
spirit, we sincerely appreciate your cooperation.
If you have further questions, please contact the TSA. For the most
expedient response, you may contact them through their website at
www.tsa.dot.gov
I am certain the information above will explain the reason you are not
able to check in online.
Thank you again for using nwa.com Customer Service. We appreciate the
opportunity to serve you, our customer.
Sincerely,
Toby Jensen
nwa.com Customer Service

no big deal, so i have to check in with a person to get on my flight out to vegas --- get my ticket and check my bags, fly out there no prob
on the way back was a little tougher -- i tried to get my ticket from that computer again --- and it told me that i had ticket check at the counter, whatever --- the ladys hand was [censored] up and she had to dial the phone using a pencil -- after calling several times and talking to different people they finally gave me my ticket --- she said my name was on the no fly list ---- i would have just hated to be stranded out in vegas
ive only flew one other time and didnt have any problems -- not sure
cheers
