Screening Changes at U.S. Airports

Just received the following email from The Sikh Coalition. Make of it what you will:

Subject: TSA Changes Rules for Headdress Searches at U.S. Airports

Dear Friends,
As some of you may be aware, we learned late last week that the Transportation Security Administration has changed its airport screening procedures as of August 4, 2007. The sudden change in policy includes, as we understand it, mandatory secondary screening for all travelers wearing any form of headgear - including religious headdress. In addition, secondary screenings of religious headdress are now permitted even if a passenger has already been cleared by a metal detector.


Millions of Sikh, Muslim, South Asian, and Jewish passengers worldwide will be affected by the new process. Still, the TSA not only sprung this on our communities without warning, but now refuses to inform the public of what the new policy entails, on the grounds of security concerns. It took Sikh Coalition staff members almost 36 hours simply to get a confirmation that the policy had indeed been changed, let alone details of the new procedure.

I worship Poseidon. Can I take my trident on board?

Since I entered into this game, I learnt skills to earn Entropia Universe Gold. My friends sometimes give me some Entropia Universe Money. Buy Entropia Universe Gold is a good way. I like to search on Internet to find where to buy cheap Entropiauniverse ped.

Therefore, I should Buy Perfect World Gold with the spare money.

we don't think it is reasonable to spend hundreds thousands dollars to buy a decorating watch. you can use those money to invest in other industry which will return you good profit.
here you just need to spend 100-200 dollars to buy a replica rolex watches.
U-Boat replica watches are made by the rating 1:1 according to the original watches, and you can't distinguish the original and the fake watches when you look at the surface of the watches.

I hope i can get eve online isk in low price.
i buy isk for you.

Once I played FF11, I did not know how to get strong, someone told me that you must have FFXI Gil. He gave me some cheap Final Fantasy XI Gold.

In the game, dofus gold is indispensable. Second, buy dofus kamas should flow one thing, for normal games.

you must borrow
cheap mesos from friends, or you buy
maplestory mesos.

Thank you for your sharing! I like i very much!

I would like to say one thing that seems to missing are airports that have lost all of their service. If an airport had airline traffic in November 2007, but no scheduled airlines in November 2008, it appears they're not shown at all. This would only affect a small number of mostly rural and regional airports, but it is part of the story.
