check your consonants, you might be a terrorist

On April 10, when Van Chevrolet in Kansas City checked his credit, [Ryan] Allen’s Social Security number came up as belonging to Ramzi Bin al-Shibh, described by federal authorities as a senior al-Qaida operative suspected of helping to coordinate the Sept. 11 attacks.

“At one point (the Treasury Department) told me my name might have come up because the consonants are the same as this other guy,” Allen said Wednesday. “Come on, Little Bo Peep is closer to his name than mine.”

let’s investigate that a moment…

ryan allen -> rnlln
ramzi bin al-shibh -> rmzbnlshbh
