Will this cause a problem, or is it fine as long as the initial matches the first letter of my full middle name (or do they even look at middle names at all)?

Thanks.
Hassles at a checkpoint are directly proportional to the current TSA scandal or embarrassment. So, you shouldn't be hassled unless someone, like the famous woman, gets through a TSA checkpoint without a BP a few days before you fly. When the TSA screws up, Layer #20 pays the price.
