I See You Have a Ticket, but Is That Your Name

Gerardo Sanchez


People might be needing to have to get the US passport in order to fly. Many people when they order there ticket, in some occasions it doesn’t match their Driver License and this has became a problem for example
“So if you use your driver’s license and it says John T. Smith, your ticket must also say John T. Smith — not John Thomas Smith, not Jack Smith, or any other name variant”
The federal government will have a single version of your name on file, along with your gender and age. That same information is supposed to be on your boarding pass. The problem could be if your passport or driver’s license has a different version of your name, which could delay you while your identity is verified against the watch list.
This will also be interesting if this does pass because now you’re going to have to get a new license if it doesn’t match your passport.
The social control here is the government is trying to control us who don’t have passports to get one if you want to fly. First it was people crossing borders that you need to have a Passport in order to get back in, but now you need a Passport if you want to fly across the United States. Me being a baseball playing and season starting up in 2 months this might affect us. We fly pretty much everywhere we go and if people in my team don’t have a passport, well I guess they won’t be able to join us.
