Isn't there a bullshit reason for that? Something like if they say why they're put on the list, it becomes an accusation of a crime and then punishment without a trial, but maintaining a list of people who can't fly is somehow OK.

A bunch of information like that (along with citizenship and so on is redacted), probably before the TSA gives it to the airlines. that way they can truthfully say they don't know why their computer said no. The ID fields for the entries start at 1 and run upwards chronologically thought not monotonically because people get removed from the list.

Wonder how many people would be on there out of retaliation for something personal, like their wife leaving them.
