Airlines Reveal How Many People Are On Their No-Fly Lists
Since March 2020, airlines have banned over 2,700 people from flying on their aircraft due to noncompliance with mask mandates, and the insurrection at the Capitol has barred dozens more. In an attempt to keep flying calm and orderly, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is checking “hundreds of names” that may be prohibited from boarding aircraft, and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is cracking down on unruly passengers.

How do airlines know the person with a common name is a "no fly" list person and not somebody else?
They have date of birth. And they probably have a credit card number and phone number. But without a social security number or driver's license number, it does appear to open it up to some mistaken identities in the future. I guess I am glad I am not John Smith.
I would guess that with credit card and driver license cross reference that wouldn't be a problem. Hopefully John Smith has a middle name.
John Smith's full name is:
John Jacobs Gingle Heimer Smith, and, the name is my name too.
Whenever we went out, the people would always shout,
"There goes John Jacobs Gingle Heimer Smith!"

Well if they didn't it would be easy enough to continue flying after being put on the list, wouldn't it?
How long do these people stay on the list? I guess it is not forever, otherwise the list would be a lot longer.
