Missing from the FAA database now

Of course (to bring this back to aviation), the TSA has avoided all of
these issues by relying on just a name. After all, a person's name is
unique, right? It makes perfect sense to deny boarding or otherwise
subject a person to increased scrutiny and invasive searches if their name
shows up on a list provided by other government officials. And I'm sure
that a name never shows up on that list as a result of data that's been
aggregated by all those innocent sources you're referring to.

Right?

I wish. My name is on some kind of list, that will not allow me to get self
check in boarding passes. I have to go through the agent.

To get off the list, I have to fill out a form, and have notarized copies of
my birth certificate, driver's license, and a couple other things I can't
remember right now.

PITA, if you ask me.
