[...] DHS Collects Hotel Records – I feel so much safer! Obviously the next time I travel, I don’t have to forward my itinerary to anyone, I can just tell them to call the DHS if I go missing. [...]

So can you post a copy of your record (with any sensitive details blacked or whited out)? I find it helps to see actual government records on actual innocent citizens. Not just talking about it, but actually seeing what they collect, is powerful medicine for a complacent public.

There’s more background about the Passenger name recrods (PNR’s) that contain both airline and other reservations, and sabre and the other Computerized reservation Systems (CRS’s) that host them, in my article, “What’s in a PNR?” at:

Time permitting, I’d be happy to help recipients of their files interpret them. An initial report by the Identity Project on some of what we found in the first reponses to our requests at:

We’re contiuing to update the request forms (at the link in your original post) based on the responses to their requests that people are sharing with us.
