...Frequent border crossers into either Canada or Mexico who are dreading the day when they'll be required to carry their passport with them every trip may get a reprieve. They'll still have to carry a unique ID as of June 1, 2009, but they'll have the option of using a high-tech alternative approved by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) which lets an immigration agent know a person's identity even before he or she gets to the booth...
...photograph and biographical information in the DHS database pops up on the screen. The new IDs - available to U.S. citizens only - will speed up cross-border traffic while making it more secure, says Bob Mocny, the acting director of DHS's U.S. VISIT program, which designs ways to move frequent travelers through immigration lines more quickly. Mocny confirmed that DHS had chosen the radio transmitter 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...
...that much is guaranteed. In the dense slums that blanket many hills surrounding Caracas, ramshackle homes are crammed on top of one another, and crime is rampant on the narrow, garbage-strewn streets and stairways.

Travelpro Crew5's exterior is microballistic nylon that is Teflon coated and stain resistant. As a bonus, the wheels can be replaced...
...World as well. The unifying factor is the interplay of war and religion. Was I prescient in 1981, did I prophesize 9/11 in offering this course? No, I was not. The connection to 9/11, if any there be, is of quite another nature. In fact, while I make frequent mention of the long-term effects of the Crusades, I believe that I do not once mention 9/11, for this is not a case in point for me. The conjunction of war and religion (or religious or would-be religious justification of war) is. It has a long, deep, and venerable...
