I suppose a hack would be to enter today-99 in the year of birth (so 1925 this year, 1926 next year, and so on). Afaik only the name has to be exact for the sec

I suppose a hack would be to enter today-99 in the year of birth (so 1925 this year, 1926 next year, and so on). Afaik only the name has to be exact for the security theatre people?

I assume she only flies within the US. If she tried to fly internationally she might not be allowed to board because the API record submitted by the airline wouldn't be correct.

  It needs to be correct in the US as well. https://www.tsa.gov/travel/security-screening/credential-authentication-technology https://www.tsa.gov/travel/security-screening/credential-aut...

I thought the name thing was so that you couldn't resell the ticket.

  That’s the real reason airlines like it, yes, but it was put in place after 9/11 using security as the justification. I actually do get the benefit of having the name on the ticket match the person traveling, but there’s no theoretical reason that couldn’t be safely combined with a resale feature. The obstacles are mainly with the technology, the business model, the applicable political incentives, etc.
