Travel annoyances

I suspected this for a while, and the counter person at Southwest confirmed it this weekend: my name is so common that it's been added to the "Do Not Fly" list in the section where the counter people have to personally check your ID before you get your boarding pass. So long electronic check in, welcome waiting in long, long lines.

Supposedly theyr'e doing this for all Smiths, Johnsons, Joneses, Williamses, etc. on a random basis, but I've been "carded" every time I've flown in the last six months (three trips).
