Doppelganger
I've recently had some trouble at the airport. It seems there is another person sharing my name (no surprise -- I have a very common name) who is on the DHS's no-fly list. The airline attendants checked the birthdate on my ID with the birthdate of the trouble-making David Johnson to make sure I wasn't him. Fortunately, we don't share birthdays.
However, my name is so common that I'm confident there is at least one other David Johnson born on my birthday. Thus, my status with the DHS may be dependent on my doppelganger David Johnsons and their good behavior.
