I go through TSA every time I fly where they scan my ID and boarding pass containing all of this data. You're telling me the government went and paid money for that data separately when it already had it?
- ty6853 1y agoIt's more relevant when flying overseas i think. For instance if you buy a round trip to Sweden in USD and then a separate round trip in Kroner as a Swedish transaction to Iraq, it doesn't seem to set off alarm bells that buying a straight round trip ticket from NYC might since it appears to TSA you are just going and coming from Sweden.
