The last postings have swamped the article with large amounts of POV text about privacy concerns. --Dmol 06:58, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] privacy issues,

made a separate heading to cover the privacy issues, but still needs work.--Dmol 09:51, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

I'm a bit confused about the content of the article... it doesn't explain what a PNR really is and only focuses on privacy issues, the content of a PNR being explained in the record locator article, whereas a record locator is only a 6 digits string that identifies a PNR. Some cleanup seems to be required. Metoule 12:27, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Latest revision

I have reverted all of Texaswebscout. Information was inaccurate. PNRs can and often do contain date of birth, as it is a requirement for this information to be provided in order to enter the USA. The info can come from the machine readable data in a passport, but is often contained in the PNR. This is especially the case where frequent travellers have a 'profile' built in the airline system, to avoid having to add it each time a booking is make.
Quotes have been put back to what they were. All spellings have been put back to originals. Not everyone spells these words in the American way, and they are totally acceptable as they are.--Dmol 22:15, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
