I'm less scared of them than of the immigration nazis. It's never happened yet, but if it does, and if I have time, I might entertain myself by playing the ethnic discrimination card

A variety of people with roots in various parts of Europe and huge parts of Asia or Africa would have a good claim to make about ethnic discrimination if this were to be made an issue by the TSA.
As you are aware, the traditional naming convention that is most prevalent in the US and Europe is not the traditional naming convention for every culture around the world. In some parts of the world, application of the most prevalent US and European naming convention to persons of cultures with their own naming conventions would be considered a violation of traditional cultural norms or even an insult.
