^ Maybe I prefer to put as little information on my drivers license as the state allows to decrease risk in case anyone finds it (no middle/SSN). My passport has my absolute full name on it, but I never travel with my passport unless flying internationally. Don't want to take the risk of it being lost and would prefer to keep it safely at home. Between my Passport/DL/aa.com profile/ company travel profile I have a mix of some with full middle, some with initial, some with no middle name. I feel it might be a pain to get through security in the next few weeks. Too bad you can't opt out of this BS like you can the full body scanners.
