Keeping Chevys Safe for Democracy

Kansas City, Missouri-AP

Ryan Allen just wanted to buy a Chevy -- instead, he got a whole lot of trouble.

When a Chevrolet dealership in Kansas City, Missouri, checked his credit, Allen's Social Security number came up as belonging to Ramzi Binalshibh (RAM'-zee bin-al-SHEEB'), who's alleged to be a senior al-Qaida operative who helped plan 9/11.

The dealership called police, who then called the FBI, who said the terror suspect was arrested two years ago and remains in custody.

But the dealership still refused to sell to Allen.
