Just what I thought! When someone's a sufficiently bloody nuisance, ban them from the airline for some time. What is it with people who think everything must be done by gov't?

Also, why don't they share the lists with each other? They don't need government help to do this.

If there are privacy issues then they could just share a list of hashes and if someone's legal name hashes to something on the list then you deny them.

In pure HN comment degeneracy: they could then claim to be victim of a hash collision and you won't be able to prove it while maintaining privacy.

Also a hash doesn't provide privacy in itself. It just make enumerating people in the database more difficult.
