SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- Identical twin brothers are in trouble with the FBI after one went to the other's job in a secure area of the Salt Lake International Airport.

The agency said Olimpiu Nedelcu looks exactly like his brother Silviu, who works as an aircraft refueler at the airport.

FBI Special Agent Bob Wright said Silviu couldn't make it to work so his brother went in his place.

''Silviu, the employee, was unable to attend work and his brother was able to go in his place'' Wright told KSL.

Airport police fingerprinted the man who showed up for work and found out that he was not Silviu.
