TSA privacy notice
The Transport Security Administration (TSA) requires you to provide your full name, date of birth, and gender, for the purposes of watch-list screening. This is mandated under the authority of 49 USC section 114, the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004, and 49 CFR parts 1540 and 1560.
You may also provide your redress control number, if available. Failure to provide your full name, date of birth, and gender may result in denial of transport or denial of authority to enter the boarding area. TSA may share information you provide with law enforcement or intelligence agencies, or others, under its published system of records notice.
Travelling to Canada
Citizens of countries that do not need a visa to enter Canada (except for United States citizens) must obtain an Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA) before flying to, or transiting through, Canada.
The authorisation is electronically linked to the passenger's passport and is valid for five years, or until the passport expires, whichever comes first.
