In that case you have three options:
1. Make sure your name on any reservation is as entered in your GE application. Use your GE card as ID for domestic travel (that's what I do).
2. Make sure your name on any reservation is as entered in your GE application. Use your driver's license as you normally do. I can't imagine that a TSO will think John Quincy Smith (on your DL) does not equal John Q Smith (on your BP).
3. Make sure your name on any reservation is as entered in your GE application. Use your passport as ID for travel (or get a passport card).
the issue is that US AIRWAYS requires the reservation to have your full middle name on it. so now my name on the reservation does NOT match that on my passport or my new ge card--is this an issue, or nothing to worry about???
