What does it mean to be placed in the “inhibited” category?
To be “inhibited” in “TSA speak” means that TSA suspects that you might be the person on their watch list, and further information as to your identity is necessary to confirm or deny that suspicion. An airline may not issue a boarding pass to an “inhibited” individual. Unless you can further prove your identity to show you are not the supposedly-bad person on the secret list, you’re not going to be allowed to fly.
