Did you miss the "for the sake of argument" part of my post?
The point of my post was to try to point out why SecureFlight might not be helping the unfortunate souls who are false positives check in online or at a kiosk; perverted as the logic of the NFL/SSSS lists and ID are, put you in the TSA's shoes using their perverted logic and see if what I am saying makes sense:
Since only the name is matched with the ID at the checkpoint, the TSA has no way of making sure the DOB/gender provided to SecureFlight is accurate and not fake. So, even though SecureFlight is supposed to sift out false positives, they still make everyone with a name match check in with a person so that the DOB/gender provided can be matched against the ID. In other words, is the reason SecureFlight hasn't helped anyone because the TSA knows this "loophole" still makes false positives check in with a human who can match the ID with the SecureFlight data.
The TSA claims that if the SecureFlight data isn't a match, the passenger is allowed to print a boarding pass online or at a kiosk; since we haven't seen any evidence that it has worked for the false positives, isn't the TSA lying to us (again) and is this the reason it hasn't helped anybody which was part of its stated purpose?
You don't have to shout. Yes, I did miss the "for the sake of argument" phrase.
