Yeah, it is kind of odd how badly they're doing this. It's similar to credit reporting: with a name as boring as mine, I'm guaranteed to look like I've declared bankruptcy 3 times, or not paid my phone bill, or whatever. It's more than a little infuriating that being tagged as a terrorist will occur comparably. Not for the first time, I'm glad that my name isn't Ahmed or Mohammed. As far as I can tell, this means I'm going to have to keep my passport with me on every US flight I take from now on. But that's no big deal: we need them anyhow.
The Kennedy case did get a fair amount of press here. We don't get all of the US news, but we do get quite a bit. (And I read the NYT, too.)
