I should note that this information is NOT the same as was required by
the TSA to sign up for their free registered traveller program when I
signed up (and was approved) at DCA just over a year ago.  The TSA did
NOT request (nor require) an SSN.

So, why is it that this private commercial enterprise DOES require
an SSN when the TSA itself did not?
