Our six month old was on the list. It was a shock when we went to the airport, and they asked that he be taken aside for an interview with a TSA agent. We wrote a letter explaining the situation, and got a letter back acknowledging that our information had been received. They stopped asking 3-4 years later.

That they even requested that a 6 month old be taken aside is absolutely insane

Not only that insanity, but... you need a thing called "ID" these days. ID to fly.
If you can fake ID, and you're on some list, why on Earth would you use the same name? And if you can't fake ID, then it will be linked to, you know, ID numbers, birthdays, and more.
I can't even imagine how "just names" ended up on that list, as a match requirement. How many John Smiths are there?
Very, very strange. I don't get it.
