I get to take my students to the museum today. Yeah!!
So, the TSA doesn't just check your name against the no-fly list, they use a system that sort of compares your name to similar sounding names. So there are various formulas for figuring out your porn name (first pet + street lived on as a child) or bar name. So I've decided my terrorist name is Khalil Petrosky. Or I shall save it for the next time I need an middle eastern/eastern European guy's name for gaming (which reminds me of a car game I played with Shafe - design a character around the names found on roadsigns. The classic is Akron Spink. I did actually play Nishnabotna in a campaign for a couple of sessions until I realized I didn't like the story teller).
