27 September 2010 by kathleen.
A company email this morning called my attention to new rules established by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) for their “Secure Flight” program. Starting November 1, 2009, airlines were supposed to begin asking for gender when you book a flight — yes, gender!
According to the TSA Secure Flight FAQ, the airlines must forward to TSA the name, date of birth, and gender of each passenger. Please excuse my ignorance of this rule change: I haven’t flown in several years.
Those of you who are in your year of real life experience — what are you doing? Does TSA ask that your gender match the identification you carry, or match your presentation at the time you pass through TSA security? Or do you simply not fly?
