that's kinda funny in a sad way - I work at a Nat'l Lab and we recently had to fill out paperwork showing what name is on our Passport and Driver's license. We'll my DL has my middle initial and my passport doesn't. So, I've been 'grounded' as far as work travel until they can figure out what to do with that!
That said, right after I was told I couldn't travel, I needed to make reservations to travel for work and did so without a hitch. So, they aren't backing up their threat.
