TSA Trains Agents In Cultural Sensitivity For Hajj Pilgrims

WorldNetDaily yesterday reported that the U.S. Transportation Security Administration has provided sensitivity training to 45,000 airport security officers to prepare them for expected travel by thousands of U.S. Muslims to Saudi Arabia in the Hajj that began yesterday. The State Department publicized the training program on its USINFO website last Tuesday. WorldNetDaily reports that TSA, as well as other government agencies, is working with the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) on issues relating to profiling and cultural sensitivity. Some are critical of the relationships with CAIR because of actions and statements by some of its leaders since 9/11 and because of the group's relationships with Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
