Update info on Southwest required by TSA, B.S.?
I (and others I know) have received emails from Southwest Airlines, stating that everyone is required to update their Southwest accounts with full names, date of birth, gender, and other things.
This seems totally bullshit. Why? This southwest account thing is totally voluntary, it's just for Southwest airlines, and I could fly southwest without a stupid account in the first place. I just used it for rewards points. Now TSA says it's required to put and update information there? What's that going to do TSA? Help you find terrorists? Seriously now, can we stop making up random requirements to make people feel safer when they won't?
I find ideas TSA comes up with to be amazingly ridiculous. Who is actually making these decisions? I want to know. If it's a group of random people who think of ideas while in their showers, that isn't going to work.
Can't we come up with something better? Or forget it, just strip everyone down naked, have them wear a TSA issued hospital gown, and ship their packages via UPS overnight to meet them wherever they're going. K?
