The scary amount of information DHS knows about you everytime you book a flight
A pretty scary amount of information is obtained by DHS everytime you book a flight. A FOIA request was sent to DHS to deliver an actual travel report from DHS for a person who booked a flight online. Credit card, mileage and IP numbers were all reported to DHS, and the Feds even knew his preference for sitting in the rear of the plane.
Here is the list of stuff they obtain
- Credit card number and expiration (really)
- IP address used to make web travel reservations
- Hotel information and itinerary
- Full Name, birth date and passport number
- Full airline itinerary, including flight numbers and seat numbers
- Cruise ship itinerary
- Phone numbers, incl. business, home & cell
- Every frequent flyer and hotel number associated with the subject, even ones not used for the specific reservation
