Think I saw this guy at blockbuster two weeks ago in Baton Rouge:

..."They were held for seven hours during which they were subjected to a strip search, drug-sniffing dogs and interrogation by local and federal officials... Capt. Dustin Bairfield, the deputy in charge of the investigation, said... even if the feds pass on the case, he said, local officials still might convene a grand jury and seek a state indictment for money laundering... Atta, who is now selling groceries on Congress Street in New Orleans... spent in Mississippi brought him back to the state in 2001, when he and his family decided to leave Florida, their home for 10 years... His last name -- which is the same as that of alleged terrorist ringleader Mohammed Atta -- attracted the attention of the Federal Bureau of Investigation... since they both had ties to Orlando"...
