Excellent! About flipping time common-sense prevailed.
We’ll see how long it lasts...

"Airport officials say more than 70 percent of the cabbies at the airport are Muslim..." Say no more. That is about 69% more than I am comfortable with...rent a car instead, but check the undercarriage first for explosives.

I am glad common sense prevaled! The weirdest part of this whole situation is that most people who purchase alcohol have it in there carry on or luggage and really would not have it in sight. I suppose a few here and there buy it at the store on the way out of the airport, but I would think it would be rare.
To: Lurker
I’ve heard of instances there where they refused to take blind passengers with guide dogs because the dogs are dirty..(I have no proof or links to back that up)..

I going to view this as a positive step in the process of ending this ridiculous discrimination which has been done by these Muslim drivers. They serve ALL of the public and its about damn time they realized that.
What is the status of these Muslim cabbies transporting blind people with seeing-eye dogs?

You can’t buy it coming out of the airport. These folks are bringing from elsewhere in the country of from duty free overseas. But many times it’s carried in a plastic bag from duty free, in plain sight.

They don't like alcohol in the car. They don't like dogs in the car. I'm thinking of getting one of these to ride in the back seat with me.
My pig can sit in the front.

I wonder what Keith Ellison will have to say about this?? He is stupid enough to actually say something after getting elected by being moot.
The operator of the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport on Monday approved tougher penalties for cabdrivers who refuse service to travelers carrying alcohol, as some Muslim drivers have done for religious reasons.
The state should have maintained it's standards when giving them a license to drive!

I don't drink but when I travel I carry. I bet there is a market for lapel pin or bracelet charm sized containers of adult beverages.

On Monday, cab driver Abdinoor Dolal called the penalties punitive ... Well...duh!
Someone forgot to send Mr. Dolal the memo. LOL!

They will lose, just like the “Flyin’ Imams” will.
