OT: TSA Secure Flight?

[AZ Pete]

Interestingly, my wife just booked a flight for the entire family with 
Southwest. This morning I just received an email asking for this 
additional information. According to the TSA Secure Flight site 
(http://www.tsa.gov/what_we_do/layers/secureflight/index.shtm) it is 
supposed to help prevent you from being misidentified. In other words 
"We can't get our shit together, so we're going to ask for more 
information from innocent people".

I'm tempted not to provide the info (claiming I never got the email) and 
see how much hassle I'll encounter.
It's getting to the point where driving is becoming a much more viable 
alternative despite that it takes much longer.
