I had a similar thing happen to me once a while back. Was trying to get clearance to get ID card to get on army base.

County sent them a printout of all the crimials in my county with the same first and last name. Thats how their computer system indexed them. Not even middle initla or DOB. I have a very common first and last name.

To "clear" me, they have to go get the paper files. The file for this guy is missing. Took several weeks to find file is in the desk of an ASA. Guy is in local loony bin. Not me. ID card issued.
