Doesn’t UA use your DOB as an identifying measure, at least for passports?

Might work if you have an uncommon name. Might be harder to enforce against Mark Smith, living in New York, NY. It wouldn’t surprise me if multiple people with the same common name have the same birthday in a major metropolitan city.

Does UA have access to SSN’s? I know I’ve never provided them with mine. IDK if they have access through TSA or CBP.
