I actually work at a very small Pawn shop, and we also have to comply with this, its actually not that big of a deal, what happens with us if a name comes up its called a "hit" (the makers of the pawn program we used had something made up that checks names when we put them into the computer) when we get a "hit" a screen pops up with the name match, the name match usually has additional info on it like where was the suspect born, birthdate, things like that, all you have to do then is ask the person "where were you born" and if they dont answer the same as whats on the name match, its a false hit, and you can continue on with what your doing, if it matches, just ask more questions until you can either get a false hit, or if all the answers are the same, you cant help them, but we give them a number they can call to get an ok from the treasury department. Ive never had a hit go past 1 question.
