Dave,
Paul Rosenzweig and I published a Heritage Foundation paper last year
that discusses both this problem (wrongly matched) as well as redress
considerations for those wrongly named. We suggested solving the
false positive problem (every Gary Smith getting infringed) in a many
that does not necessitate public records and/or large data aggregations.
Some of your IP subscribers may find this useful.

Unlikely Terrorists On No-Fly List
Steve Kroft reports lists includes President of
Bolivia,
dead 9/11 hijackers
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/10/05/60minutes/
main2066624.shtml
Excerpt:
Gary Smith, John Williams and Robert Johnson are
some of those
names. Kroft talked to 12 people with the name
Robert Johnson, all
of whom are detained almost every time they fly. The
detentions
can include strip searches and long delays in their
travels.
"Well, Robert Johnson will never get off the list,"
says
Donna Bucella, who oversaw the creation of the list
and has
headed up the FBI's Terrorist Screening Center since
2003. She
regrets the trouble they experience, but chalks it
up to the
price of security in the post-9/11 world. "They're
going to be
inconvenienced every time ... because they do have
the name of
a person who's a known or suspected terrorist," says
Bucella.
