I wrote to the TSA via their website on Sunday asking for specific rules on what they were allowed to ask of me when I show them my ID at the checkpoint. I asked for what was the official policy on asking passengers to speak their names and could they either respond with a copy of whatever the new policy was or where I could find it on the TSA website. I sent one message using my email browser to the address
[email protected] and also used one of their popup message senders at their website.
So, today I received 2 answers which basically tell me nothing!
