The TSA's stated reason for requiring this information is to decrease the number of false positives for passengers with names similar to those on the No-Fly list. The ACLU has argued that the No-Fly list is unconstitutional in the first place. Individuals with common Muslim names have been detained, as in the recent case of Shah Rukh Khan. Now this attempt to fix a system that is fatally flawed will increase the targeting of another group of people who too often experience unjustified policing.

Well you know with all the transgenders who have hijacked airplanes, and trains, and god knows what else, what other choice do they have.
Really, the Feds should shut down the TSA before we all come after it with pitchforks and fire.
FIGHT APATHY!
