The information requested for Secure Flight does not appear on your boarding pass.
Despite providing all of that info to delta, my boarding pass still prints LASTNAME/FIRST.
I don't know if it will become a new field on boarding passes at some point in the future, as it does state it must match the ID you will be traveling on.
One thought - I have seen the TSA deploy boarding pass scanners to authenticate boarding passes at a few airports. Perhaps the TSA, at the TDC position, will be using this to match the SecureFlight fields against your ID at some point in the future?
The TSA scanning of paper boarding passes for validity was a mess and really caused the queues to back up when I have been subjected to it - hopefully they won't waste more money and manpower to scan each and every boarding pass.
