Had a jumpseater on my flight and he was saying how he is often subjected to extra crutiny because he shares the same first and last name AND birthdate as someone of the no fly list. Only difference is the middle name, but middle initial is the same.

He related one incident when he flew the plane into an airport and was going to deadhead back in the same airplane. When he went to get his boarding pass, he was again checked out.

Made no sense at all. He could be at the controls of the plane without any problem, but in order to sit in the back, he had to be cleared.
