Starting May 15th, all air travel bookings must include full name, exactly as it is stated on the ID planned to be used at the airport, gender and date of birth. This means that if your middle name is spelled out on your drivers license or passport, your ticket must be booked in accordance with how your name is displayed on the ID you will use.
Travel agents (and all other booking sources) will be required by the Federal Government to collect this data. The Secure Flight program will be phased in over 2009 and there is some "flexibility" built into the system, as reported by the TSA, for people get used to this requirements.
