As was pointed out above, this is the SecureFlight data. (2) applies in the case of somebody not flying. And "request for authorization to enter a sterile area" means obtaining a gate pass, not presenting oneself to TDC.

But has anybody noticed that there's a problem here? The regulation says "gender", but then says it has to agree with what's on the identify document. But those documents don't list gender, they list sex. Those are not the same for everybody!
