FL: FAC Member Advised Passport Confiscated at Airport

[floridaactioncommittee.org – 9/14/18]

A [Florida Action Committee] member just advised us that as he was about to board an international flight (which he properly reported under IML) he was approached by 3 US Marshalls who confiscated his passport and told him he had to get a new one with an identifier. He was not permitted to travel and he had received no prior notice that he had to update his passport.

I’m sure this has been covered but can someone please remind me who California residents are supposed to notify. Is it just your local registering office? Thanks.

Please do NOT confuse me with with New York Level1

Congressman Chris Smith in a nutshell:
Smith is a staunch Republican, and usually backs fiscally conservative policies meant to lower taxes. However, he was one of the few Republicans to vote against Trump’s tax reform bill, saying it would hurt New Jersey property owners. He takes his Catholic faith seriously, which he says is the main reason why he is against abortion. It was Smith who introduced one of the nation’s most controversial abortion bills to date in 2017, which would prohibit the use of federal funds for abortion or health plans that cover abortion, except in cases of rape, incest, or when the life of the mother is in danger. Smith has advocated for defunding Planned Parenthood and was also in favor of repealing the Affordable Care Act.

Throughout his long career in Washington, Smith has authored many pieces of legislation that became laws with wide bipartisan support, such as the International Megan’s Law to Prevent Child Exploitation and Other Sexual Crimes Through Advanced Notification of Traveling Sex Offenders and the Sean and David Goldman International Child Abduction Prevention and Return Act of 2014, according to The Trentonian.

One longstanding criticism of Smith is that he doesn’t technically live in the district he represents: Smith bought a townhome in the D.C. suburbs years ago and that’s where he and his wife raised their four children. He rents an apartment in Hamilton Township, has a New Jersey driver’s license, pays state taxes and votes here. Smith has said he has to live in Virginia so he can be close to Washington for congressional duties, and said he moved his family down there because it was difficult for him not seeing his wife and children often.

The 4th Congressional District has also voted for a Republican in the past four presidential elections by comfortable margins: Trump, Romney, McCain and Bush.

It does not matter what state you live in but WE have some power so please support and donate, write or call and remember WE ALL want to get rid of Chris Smith the Catholic Bigot whom I am sure, as any good shrink would agree, has DARK secrets like Dean Skelos, Mark Foley, Anthony Weiner, Ed Schrock,David Dreier,Larry Craig, Scott DesJarlais,Dennis Hastert.

Send this to anyone and all asking ‘Can we TRUST Chris Smith?’

Getting a passport next year, will have to have the indentifier. Just wondering if anyone has made to Germany, Austria, or The Netherlands at all?
Thanks.

Question please. I have not received the “revoke” passport certified letter but I probably missed it not sure. Anyway, I plan on going to Europe in May 2019. My passport is set to expire 2020 but I’m worried about being stopped at the boarding gate and have my passport revoked because it has no identifier like one incident that recently happened to someone else. Could you please let me know if I can send in my current passport and renew with the identifier?

@nylevel1, look I apologize for causing your distress and suspicion. I guess “New York Level 1” and “nylevel1” could confuse people and make you suspicious of my intentions, but I’m just trying to help us NY’ers organize and stay informed. In NYC, at least, I don’t know of any organizing activities going on outside of DobbsWire and the New York Sex Offense Working Group, and from what I’ve seen, they’re not a sham or a vanity project. They have working group meetings, host talks, publicize plays that show us in a humanizing light, etc. It’s been really crucial for my mental sanity to go to these events and reads Bill’s newsletter and know that beyond passive sympathy, people in this city are actually trying to organize to do something about our situation. @nylevel1 we should be working together, not sniping at each other and thinking the other is some sort of quasi-COINTEL plant!!

I wonder if registrants with the unique identifier passport, have ever travelled and entered whatever foreign destination freely and unmolested?

Are foreign countries made aware about the unique identifier passport and have to check for it, what will happen?
