The first phase of new Transportation Security Administration rules go into effect today (May 15). When airline passengers book a flight, they are now required to give their full name exactly as it appears on their driver’s license or other travel ID.
Starting August 15, passengers will also be asked for their date of birth and gender when making reservations. The federal agency says this will boost security by making it easier to match identities and avoid mismatching a passenger to a similar name on the “no fly” list.
