Pick one:
The post goes on to say:On the SDN {Specially Designated Nationals list} one finds terrorist celebrities like Saddam Hussein, various Al-Qaeda party members, and Osama Bin Laden. Each has a designation code. Bin Laden ranks a SDT and SDGT for "Specially Designated Terrorist" and "Specially Designated Global Terrorist."
SDN CODES
• SDNT - Specially Designated Narcotics Trafficker
• SDNTK - Specially Designated Narcotics Trafficker Kingpin
• BPI-SDNTK - Blocked Property and Interests SDNTK
• SDT - Specially Designated Terrorist
• SDGT - Specially Designated Global Terrorists
• NPWMD - Non-Proliferation Weapons of Mass Destruction
• FTO - Foreign Terrorist Organization
It would be nice if it was as easy as that. But somehow I doubt it....A section in OFAC's online FAQ, "What Is This OFAC Information On My Credit Report?" advises that if your credit report indicates an SDN match:
"This does not necessarily mean that someone is illegally using your social security number or that you have bad credit. It is merely a reminder to the person checking your credit that he or she should verify whether you are the individual on the SDN list by comparing your information to the OFAC information. If you are not the individual on the SDN list, the person checking your credit should disregard the OFAC alert, and there is no need to contact OFAC."
If this a false match, you can request its removal by contacting the credit bureau(s) and reporting the false information, the same as any old piece of credit report misinformation.

May I add "PTO" ... Parents of Terrorist Offspring, which more than one teacher has had to face down in meetings of the local, um, PTO. If only OFAC usefully tracked those, and provided lists to teachers...
I've met a few PTOs in my children's trek through public school. The classic was in my son's first day of first grade where the principal was called because a little girl would not stop screaming....
The parents were definitely part of the problem!
PTO. Gotta remember this...
I was the son of two public school teachers. While I made up "Parents of Terrorist Offspring" and its acronym for this thread, I did not fabricate the concept: Dad faced quite a few over the span of his career, and I believe Mom did too, though she retired from teaching to become a PTO herself. Yes, I was a handful. :)
You? A terrorist offspring? Nah... couldn't be. Yelling defiant limericks from under the kitchen table? Practicing your music too loudly? Demanding tofu instead of meatloaf?
I can't believe it.
All but one of the above. The doggerel started early, perhaps in third grade or so. The piano practice competed with the TV. But I ate Mom's excellent meatloaf; I didn't become a sprout-eater until around 1981 or 1982, by which time I was long since on my own.
Hecate posted a Dorothy Parker poem recently... whatthehell, it's short; I'll quote the whole thing, because it describes my young years so well:
Oh, lead me to a quiet cell
Where never footfall rankles,
And bar the window passing well,
And gyve my wrists and ankles.
Oh, wrap my eyes with linen fair,
With hempen cord go bind me,
And, of your mercy, leave me there,
Nor tell them where to find me.
Oh, lock the portal as you go,
And see its bolts be double....
Come back in half an hour or so,
And I will be in trouble.
~Dorothy Parker
Lol! Hadn't heard that one. Still doubt you were a terrorist child, but will accept you were mischievious...
