Pistole said the program would rely on data that airlines have been collecting for nearly a half-century. "The airlines have over 40 years of information on some of you experienced travelers," he said.TSA administrator John Pistole
I thought the new “Trusted Traveler” internal passport was going to be entirely voluntary. I thought it would be based on information provided by the individuals applying for these new passports.
But now it appears TSA administrator John Pistole plans to raid 40 years of airline databases for information about us travelers. Are the airlines selling us out (again)? Will the government force them to turn this information over?

I know it’s unlikely, but maybe this is a step towards intelligence displacing invasive search. Is travel history really private considering that anyone can see me entering/leaving airports/terminals/gates?
Yes. So is all the other information that has been mentioned regarding “trusted traveler”.
