Yes, I know them very well. They simply do a credit check, check criminal records and interview people that know him. It's not as glamorous as you think. In fact, my wife is investigated more thoroughly than he is. Yet she was on the no fly list, for no other reason than her name is similar to a person of interest.

I know the normal TSA check isn't particularly glamorous. My husband had to go through it. However, Gore's screening, I'd wager, was a bit more stringent.

Sorry your wife has to deal with the no-fly list. Unfortunately, no one wants to exercise common sense or perhaps they're afraid of acting independently. But I've heard of children on the no-fly list who were kept from getting on a plane with their parent. Truly absurd. And, yes, just because of a shared name.
