Well Imagine a person has two 'first names' plus his surname of his mother and by last the surname of his father. Something as

XXXX XXXX YYYY ZZZZ

The Visa papers does not support 'large' names.. So he has to abbreviate..

Imagine this guy has the same last name and first name of FBI wanted list.

Now, after sep - 11 everytime he has to go to the 'vip' room at border and there is large confusion as visa papers do not 'support' longer names...

This is US...

Not complaining but can the Prism people flag work it out ;)
