(Before It's News)

Be prepared for the next great transfer of wealth. Buy physical silver and storable food.

Imagine: You make it to the airport, for once, without having to rush.

You’re feeling good. It’s been a long time since you’ve had the chance to “get away from it all.”

You wait in line to check in for your flight. You step up to the counter. Your face drops as you’re told you won’t be able to board.

“What? Why not?” you ask.

“Sorry. Could you please step aside?”

Suddenly, a small throng of security guards surround you. As everyone stares at you like you’re Bin Laden’s second cousin, the guards whisk you away for questioning.

Later, after your flight’s long gone, you learn that you’re banned from flying.

“What? Wait. For how long?” you ask.

“Indefinitely.”

2007, with that said, was a bad year to be Robert Johnson.

In that year, 60 Minutes pulled together 12 men named Robert Johnson. All of them reported being harassed while traveling. Sometimes they were just interrogated. Other times, they were strip-searched. Every time, though, they could expect, without knowing why, to be treated like a criminal.

One of the Johnsons admitted that, after a while, he’d come to dread airports so much he’d often enter them in a “panic, sweating.” Which, of course, likely made him look even more suspicious and precipitated more questioning.

Come to find out, they were all placed on America’s no-fly list after a Robert Johnson tried to blow up a Hindu temple in Toronto. For that reason, the system was mistakenly flagging every single Robert Johnson that came through.

Bummer.

It gets worse…
