People that object are just like those people that object to having to show ID when they vote. What's the big deal? What are we hiding from.

Until an old man or white lady blows up a plane them profile them too. Middle eastern people blow up planes, check those people good. Ever seen a mexican hijack a plane, not likely. Just need check your wallet around black people. Bring profiling back. Until an old man or white lady blows up a plane them profile them too.

Every time I travel (usually weekly) I'm reminded of some World War II flick or some "Cold War" flick where the Gestapo or KGB are stopping folks, intimidating them and checking their papers to make sure there "in order". What's next secret agents shadowing us through the airports and indiscriminately stopping us and asking us our business for being in a certain place. What's next, border crossings and guards at each State line and someone to check that your "papers are in order"? I agree with Maria, I tired of living in this country of “Are My Papers in Order”.

Delta is incredibly inept in many things, and this is one of them. My middle name begins with an "I" (the letter after h) and I am the third, i.e. III as a suffix, so my name comes out LASTNAMEIIII, FIRSTNAME. Normally, I wouldn't care, but recently I have been asked to state my name as it appears on Delta's records. Since in my FF account it is one way, another way on my driver's license and the abomination above on my ticket, eyebrows get raised...just who are you sir? mjay nailed it.

Like others, I have an apostrophe in my name leaving credit cards, frequent flier numbers, drivers licenses and YES airline tickets often incompatible matches. How do we vote No to these things?

The KGB used domestic travel restrictions to suppress freedom. The TSA uses them in the name of safety. Is there really a difference?

I am very concerned that this will heighten identity theft. I think a better solution would be to require people to register with the Transportation Security Administration on line, and get a security code or pin unique to the individual. The individual would use this code instead of their birth date. Birth dates are part of the security to access retirement benefits, personal bank accounts, school records, and medical records.
