Sweden has a sensible solution to this (im sure others do too). When you register a name you specify which part is the tilltalsnamn (lit. name of adress). In your case, the names would be disambiguated as Joe Frank Smith and Joe Frank Smith.
Not all systems use that piece of information, but most do.
Yes. I'm Swedish and American TSA/airport security not understanding this is why I mentioned it.
