Wait one ... I doubt we’re talking about John Jones or Fred Smith here. I know it is not PC, but an Air Marshal named Abdul of Ahmed raises a red flag for me. Imagine the agent names that are likely to coincidentally match those to be found on the list. Yeah, the problem is whacked but this does raise other questions.
So a terrorist is going to do all the things necessary to pass for an air marshal, yet use a name like Abdul Mohammed Jihad on the fake ID?
Actually, Most of the “No-Fly” mistaken identity complaints I have seen have been for “Fred Smiths” and “John Jones” sounding names.
The No-Fly List is a joke.
The numbnuts at the TSA had Ted Kennedy on the No Fly List (even though it's common knowledge that the main danger from Teddy Boy has to do with water, not air).

Like why are so many air marshals named Mohamed?
