Cartoon fury in Muslim world

Hamas said publication of the cartoon was an “offense to the feelings of tens of millions of Muslims. “We call for the trial of those responsible for publishing these drawings in the Danish newspapers,” Hamas said, demanding that “official apologies be made” to Muslims.

Agents have a new weapon in defense of the border

"In this sector we've had 81 attempted assaults so far just since October 1." Last week, an agent was working along the border just before dawn, when smugglers started throwing rocks. Haber tells us, "A situation like that really demands that an agent stay calm and collected."

The agency covers some of their vehicles with metal screening. They're called ‘war wagons.' Agents can spend up to ten hours a day in a vehicle, and at any given moment someone can start rocking them.

Supervisory Patrol Agent Jeff Tanner has been an agent for seven years. "We don't want to have to resort to deadly force when it's not absolutely necessary. This gives us another option to end the assault as quickly as possible."

That's why the Border Patrol is now using the FN303. Tanner describes the newest weapon: "It's a tool designed for stopping assaults. It's here to protect agents and let them go home safe every night."

That MRSA product certainly looks promising. They need to use it on cruise ships as well as the other institutions they listed. Thanks MamaD.
