I don't think so, since your DM number will be in the reservation.
As to the strip search, I do not think that having or not having a middle initial is a trigger...at least I hope not!
In the old system my middle initial never showed on my BP.
When this appendage of middle initial happened to me, I was more afraid of the xxxxq zzzz on my BP not matching my license or passport, which is xxxx zzzz or xxxx q zzzz. Would it not be more suspicious if my name on my ID was Helen A Brown and my BP said Helena Brown? But everyone here on FT told me not to worry about it, that it happens all the time.
