Tell them you have no ID, they complete a little form that notes the flight details (time, source, destination), the person who initiated the secondary (person that verified you have no ID), the person who performed the secondary and the resolution (resolved by TSA, detained & arrested by LEO, questioned & released by LEO, LEO did not respond) and off you go to your flight.

Nope. The real answer to that question is lurking in one of the earlier posts in this thread:
Well...almost the real answer. Time, reason, initiator's name, supervisor's name, and resolution. Nothing else unless we find something and the only names that go on the form are TSA names, no passenger information.

I raised this idea some time ago and still support it.
As for others being inconvenienced, that would be most unfortunate. However, I won't feel too guilty as they often inconvenience me by not being prepared for the TSA screening procedures and by moving slowly through all facets of the airline transport process.

I think the reson for the info is for bean counters in DC. There is no way for the info to be linked back to the pax.

It was "addressed previously" except that I watched the TDC fill out the form and my name was most definitely on it. I have no idea what the official name of the form is, but it most definitely included my name. I'll try to get a blank one next time I pass through.

The form is supposed to contain no personal information. But given the inconsistency from airport to airport, I am not surprised to hear that it is done differently at other places. I think I mentioned this before, but there are two forms as an option for the TDC SSSS. One form is to contain no personal info; the other form is used in the event of a LEO call, and this form requires more personal info. It is possible that they used the LEO TDC form in your case. Was it a full sheet of paper? The "no personal info" forms are only a half sheet (at my airport).

You won't be able to get a blank one...
Nowhere was any PAX-identifying information recorded, at least on the form I saw, which as someone else mentioned is for the bean counters back in DC.
However, that doesn't mean some PAX have had their names associated with the completion of this form which would be violations of the Privacy Act as debated in a thread elsewhere (not here please).
I would be curious to know whether this type of "SSI" (insert laughter here) is being funneled into the TIA..ahem..sorry, CAPS...uh oh..CAPSII system to monitor for potentially suspicious behavior.
They churn through the data and determine (ORLY?) whether certain destinations/flights are more prone to PAX flying w/o ID. From there they would (right...would implies proactive) decide to fly more FAMs on those flights in the event of an incident.

I didn't think a blank form could be SSI, just a completed one. Either way, maybe I'll make a stink next time if they write down my name. I'd settle for being allowed to take a digital photo of the form, though I'm sure that wouldn't go over too well either.
