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.
