Unlikely Terrorists On No-Fly List
Steve Kroft reports lists includes President of Bolivia,
dead 9/11 hijackers

Excerpt:
Gary Smith, John Williams and Robert Johnson are some of those
names. Kroft talked to 12 people with the name Robert Johnson, all
of whom are detained almost every time they fly. The detentions
can include strip searches and long delays in their travels.
"Well, Robert Johnson will never get off the list," says
Donna Bucella, who oversaw the creation of the list and has
headed up the FBI's Terrorist Screening Center since 2003. She
regrets the trouble they experience, but chalks it up to the
price of security in the post-9/11 world. "They're going to be
inconvenienced every time ... because they do have the name of
a person who's a known or suspected terrorist," says Bucella.
