Just curious, how many here beside me have found their names appearing

then you really haven't lived. ;-)
I am on said list. A quick phone call cleared up their confusion. I
don't know who they called, or what the person on the other end of the
line said, but I was able to board without further harrassments.

That was my experience also. Nevertheless, it makes you think a little
bit differently the next time you try to board a plane: Do they think my
name is more or less dangerous this time? What if the person on the
other end of of the phone is incompetent, illiterate, an asshole, the
real me?
