New security regulations for your flight

A new security regulation just went into effect this week where part of the security screening process involves making sure that the name on your airline ticket matches EXACTLY to that on your government issued photo id (drivers license/state ID).  This is to compare the info to their no fly list.  While they say that the use of a middle initial/name that appears on your ID but not on your ticket won’t effect the process, I would suggest in any future reservations you make the reservation under the name as it appears on your drivers license, middle initial/name and all to avoid any confusion and possible delays.  In August, the 2nd part of this new security measure will go into effect where you will need to enter your birthday and gender when booking your flight.
