Default TSA and your privacy

Are you curious what kind of information the U.S. government has
collected about you to test their Secure Flight passenger screening
system? If your records are contained in this database, you have a
right to obtain them.

"In direct violation of the Privacy Act, TSA has collected over 100
million records from commercial data providers to test Secure Flight. If
your records are contained in this database, you have a right to obtain
them. What would happen if thousands of people requested their TSA
travel records every day?"

TSA would simply start charging the up-to-$25 fee that the letter offers
to pay. As long as each employee's salary is smaller then the amount
collected by the letters they are able to process, the TSA will simply
hire monkeys to handle the requests and it's business as usual.
