Yes, but it took about two years and filing of the redress paperwork two different times. I have no idea how I got on the list but on a brighter note CO was the first airline to figure out that I was not the "person" in question and I was eventually able to do OLCI with CO many months before I could do so with any other airline.

In discussing why I might have gotten on the list with various TSA people I came to the conclusion that it was because of my travel habits that took me to some very out of the way places. At the time I was doing mineral exploration work (I am a geologist) in various South American countries with an odd trip or two to places like Mongolia, etc. I noticed for several months before being put on the list that I got the dreaded SSSS every time I flew.
