Michael Caine Flagged As A Terrorist

Academy Award winner SIR MICHAEL CAINE was once stopped and searched at a U.S. airport after triggering security alerts for possible terrorists.

The actor blames the incident on travelling under his real name Maurice Mickelwhite - which renders him anonymous - and on his wife for taking all their bags with her the day before.

Caine explains to GQ magazine, "I was stopped in Texas once. My wife had gone home the day before with all the luggage. I asked, 'What profile do I have that makes me a terrorist?'

"He said, 'You have no luggage. You're a foreigner. You're in first class. And you're the last to board. That is the profile of all the 9/11 fliers."
