Declan,
(Please anonymize if posting to the list.)
According to this article at MSNBC ...
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6232745/
... all you need to do to get off a do-not-fly-list is modify your name in some way by adding a middle initial or a suffix. In other words, the folks responsible for the list are too stupid to figure out how to prevent false positives, but a true terrorist can get off the list by adding a middle initial. This information comes directly from "TSA Spokesman Mark Hatfield" as quoted in the article.
