Well, he didn't get a visa for the US (his travels in the middle east preclude him from ESTA, and the rejection of the consulate in Sri Lanka was lamented on twitter), so no chance to test that concept.

That seems like a terrible business decision.

I believe the issue there was that he applied for a B1/B2 visitor visa but was told he needed an I-1 visa as a "member of the foreign media, press and radio" instead.

He never found a situation yet that he couldn't portray himself the victim of.

It is not acceptable. ICAO document 9303 specifically states that only the name entered in the MRP zone of the passport may be treated as the legal name for the purpose of facilitation using the document.

I have run into this with German-Ghanaians who booked tickets under their "traditional" names rather than their "legal" names. Our policy allowed them to make a free name change in those cases (although one person refused to do that and was consequently denied boarding and also denied his EU 261/2004 claim when he escalated to the LBA).
