Former Presidential Candidate Caught by No-Fly List

He got 6 million votes when he ran for president in 1980, but John Anderson almost couldn't get on an airline flight to Europe in April because his name was similar to one on the government's watch list for terrorists.


Washington, D.C. - Scripps Howard Foundation Wire - infoZine - The former Illinois congressman joins Rep. Don Young, R-Alaska; Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga.; and Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., all of whom had trouble boarding flights last year for similar reasons.
