#1 Registering by completing a form and taking this capsule, providing copies of documents will not completely eliminate the chance that a Muslim traveller will be singled out for closer scrutiny before or after flying, but the department wants to improve its relations with Muslims and Arab-Americans, said

#2 If Ted Kennedy fills out that form, do you think they might take him off the no-fly list?

#4 Business class commerical airline seats are too small and intravenous Chevas Regal feeding tubes are not permitted. He's never stoop to traveling with the masses anyway.

#5 ..but the department wants to improve its relations with Muslims and Arab-Americans, said Daniel Sutherland.

A word of advice: DHS' job is not to "improve relations with Muslims and Arab-Americans". Its job is to protect us all regardless of who or what we are, and if that involves closer scrutiny of certain groups/individuals, then that's how it has to be. Anyone in the government that has a problem with that needs to find other employment, preferably non-governmental.

Why? Does DHS and TSA fear a labor strike? Ahhh, the following explains it....enough said.

At the U.S. Department of Education, Mr. Sutherland provided legal and policy advice on issues such as racial preferences in postsecondary education, the development of race-neutral approaches to diversity, disability law and the harassment of Arab-Americans. He also served as the Chief of Staff, helping to manage the operations of one of the largest civil rights offices in the federal government.

Yeah, but perhaps he should be on the no-drive list.

#9 And of course only law abiding muslims will complete the paperwork; terrorists or other ne'er-do-wells would NEVER, EVER think to do the same and thus avoid suspiscion. Another dumb idea. i spent 9 long months (post 9/11, laid off from an aerospace company) working for the TSA, until I found a real job. What a cesspool. And as the economy improved, those that had any ambition moved on, leaving only the drones.
