A Department of Homeland Security program intended to give "trusted traveler" status to low-risk airline passengers soon will be extended to Saudi travelers, opening the program to criticism for accommodating the country that produced 15 of the 19 hijackers behind the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
Sources voiced concern about the decision to the Investigative Project on Terrorism, which issued a report Wednesday on the under-the-radar announcement -- which was first made by Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano after meeting in January with her Saudi counterpart. According to the IPT, this would be the first time the Saudi government has been given such a direct role in fast-tracking people for entry into the United States.

Why is there a DHS/TSA?
They aren’t stopping anything.
People may not know this but every flight coming into the US has to have at least one “friendly” in the cockpit if it is from one of our so called friendly arabic countries.
To answer your questions. They serve beer in cans and they will give you the can and a plastic cup if you are in the cattle class. If you are up front you get real silverware.
make it hurt
OK, so if you’re in first class, can you buy a bottle of champaign? The point is, that it would seem to be kind of useless to ban knives when you have glass on board. I know they won’t let you bring a container of anything containing liquid in your carry on, but could you pack an empty beer bottle in it? Again, everything they do is empty rhetoric designed to create sheep out of citizens.
Obama is no muslim.
To be a muslim, one must worship "Allah".
Obama worships nobody but himself.
He is, however, undeniably a muslim sympathizer.
The lobby is the Saudi govt. They just threaten that they would raise gas prices and the US rolls over.
You can bring liquids on board. You can bring liquids thru security as long as it’s a certain amount. They will make you pour out water or drink it before security but stuff for a baby can be allowed.
You can bring bottles of booze on board as long as it’s purchased inside the safe zone. You can’t drink it on board even though it happens. It all depends on if they have power hungry goons working security.
I’ve seen them search old Japanese ladies on a Japan bound flight and I have breezed right thru without a second look and I look like a terrorist.

Here ya go.

. .. and fat drinkers. But the government’s working on it.
Well, next time I'm flying, (if that ever happens - I'd rather ride my Harley), I'll but something in a big glass bottle inside the terminal, so I'll at least have something to defend myself and the rest of the passengers with.
IMHO they’re overplaying their cards and will be subject to reaction, more and more.
Homeland Funnel.
Funneling in illegal muzzies, mexicans, terrorists, dope dealers and fag “partners”.
Even Jeremiah Wright took pains to assure him that joining his church would not offend his muslim "past."
Man, that’s the ugliest collection of mugs I’ve ever seen.
No wonder there are so many arranged marriages.
Thnks...fairly common
And the republicants have approved of another islamist, John Brennan, to head the CIA! ... Even the name is an oxymoron.
