Actually, that's not the choice at issue here. Supervisors are asking for the identity of people who *passed* the explosives detector test (i.e., the explosives detector cleared the passenger as free of explosives). Moreover, the justification for why they need the identity is not about preventing terrorists from boarding planes; it is about some sort of internal procedures (e.g., checking that supervisors are doing their job, or something). So you've created a false dilemma.

Care to comment on the actual situation at issue here, rather than some other imagined situation?
