test TSA checkpoint policies with unused fully-refundable ticket

Abraham, keep in mind that you can experiment with this policy yourself without having to fly. Purchase a fully-refundable ticket, check in sufficiently early on the day of the flight, go through the TSA checkpoint to gather your information, then call and cancel your flight. Repeat as needed.

Also, you should get in touch with The Identity Project, who might be able to refer you to someone who has the experience you seek. Jim Harrison and Bill Scanell of TIP put me in contact with some reporters who ended up running a front-page story about my interaction with TSA.

Please post a link to your story here if it gets published.
