I had the same clearance process described below when I was on "the  
list".

I began making reservations as DAVID JOHNSON rather than DAVID A  
JOHNSON and haven't been flagged since.

Quite a system...

When I was on the no-fly list (hmmm, couldn't be my name could it?),
the clearance process involved the ticket agent 1) verifying my ID
and 2) reading my birthdate to the person at the other end of the
authorization process.  That combination would get me cleared.

People I know thought it was particularly entertaining, because I've
been an elected official in my city of 85000 for 6+years now.
