The form was so basic - only asked for given name, last name and a contact name and phone number in the US. I think it was form 238 or whatever it was it was required "by law".

Why as a US Citizen am I being asked for this info?

Why is this basic form even required? The gate clerk didn't even examine the form - just tossed it to the side with the rest of them.

How does this form realistically make America safe?
Isnt this the small form that asks for your emergency contact? Incase of say a accident etc?
