...technology, called RFID, for use in the new cards. Separate lanes will be set up at land border crossings for cardholders who have gone through a voluntary pre-screening process. Similar pilot programs have already issued around 200,000 RFID-embedded cards to frequent travelers along the Mexican and Canadian border, but DHS officials are designing the PASS card program for tens of millions of eligible Americans...
...cell 2 of the Palestine Branch was Maher Arar, a Syrian-born Canadian telecommunications engineer, whose tale of captivity has since become a cause celebre in Canada. Arar had left Syria at age 17 and married a Tunisian fellow student at McGill University in Montreal. On his way home from a vacation in Tunisia in September 2002, he stopped to change planes at JFK Airport in New York City.

In between, we’re treated to some freaky visuals, some funny ones, and not nearly enough nifty dancing from the ultracharismatic band...
...power to allocate their individual fee are deeply naive. Under this proposal, students would choose in September where to send their money, spending it as indiscriminately as freshmen pen their email addresses down at the Activities Fair. Undoubtedly, some student groups would be swamped with money, like the Harvard Canadian Club with over 150 registered members, that they had no intention to spend, while others would be left in the dust...
