The Airlines Reporting Corporation (ARC), owned by major U.S. airlines, collects billions of ticketing records and sells them to the government to be searched without a warrant. I managed to opt-out of that data selling.

@josephcox I'd be shocked if they weren't selling the opt out data for more money.

@josephcox The word “selling” may be doing a lot of work in the sentence “we are not selling your data to the us gov”

@josephcox does the TSA not maintain such a database themselves? Are they not allowed to store data on people’s flights directly, but are allowed to buy them from ARC?
