New & Important TSA Requirements.Please be advised, the information printed here was checked for conformity on May 16, 2009, but as with any government rule or airline regulation, changes may occur. It is possible TSA will escalate or delay the start date of this new mandatory process. Beginning May 15th 2009, the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will require you, when making a reservation, to provide:
This information will not be optional. The purpose of collecting these details is to allow TSA to perform terrorist watch list matching that is currently being done by each airline. Failure to provide the required elements could: (1) inhibit your ability to get a boarding pass (2) require you to undergo additional airport security screening (3) result in denied boarding of your flight. We spoke with United and Alaska Airlines and were advised that this new rule will not be fully implemented until around August 2009 to give existing passengers time to complete existing travel arrangements. Typical of the government, these rules are not referenced on their website. Secure Flight Rules Regarding Name Passport Name vs. Driver’s License Name
At this time, hotel and rental car companies do not require this exact name match requirement. May 16, 2009 From now on, passengers should strive to obtain consistency between the name on their ID with their travel information and reservations.
