Really - read the whole thing. But some highlights...
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) wants passengers to give the additional personal information — as well as their full names —
so it can do more precise background checks that it says will result in fewer travelers being mistaken for terrorists. Travelers currently must provide only a last name and a first initial.
AND
People who don't comply could be more easily mistaken for a terrorist and "may be more likely to experience delays, be subjected to additional screening (or) be denied transport," the TSA wrote.
