Oddly enough, this Tuesday AM was the first time in a while that I witnessed the NoSs at ORD not being used at all (at least in the T1 premier line). Maybe the TSA employees realized the havoc the new rules would cause in terms of delay?

As always, I had no problem with a BP that did not include my middle initials (my PP card, DL, etc. have them).

However, how would the TSA employee know the secure flight data transmitted by the airline? Is that printed on the BP? I was under the impression that the two could vary.
