Can somebody point to me where it says this will be mandatory?

Thanks.

I've been told that address is one of the data points which will be included with SecureFlight - what is coming out immediately will likely be DOB and gender only, but there are other data points they plan to implement.

As you can well imagine, the airlines are howling over this because of the burden it places on their operations.
