Does middle name vs initial make a difference on the reservation

I just realized that ticketing agent booked us with a middle initial and not the name. Does it matter?

The new TSA rules state that your ticket must have your middle name if it is included on your passport or ID.
However, it is kind of discretionary and you may or may not get through anyway (probably will though).

I guess there will not be any problem as long as it spells correctly as per the passport. However, could you please send your booking reference number and passport information to us at [email protected] so we can check with the departure airport. Please refer the request from FlyerTalk.
