Saudi Arabians To SKIP Normal Passport Security Per Obama & DHS

[Prince.Skeletor]

ELEVEN of the Fifteen 911 Hijackers were from Saudi Arabia.
Now I don't think 911 was an Inside job but WHAT THE HELL?

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.

Only an exclusive handful of countries enjoy inclusion in the Global Entry program -- Canada, Mexico, South Korea and the Netherlands. According to the IPT, some officials are questioning why Saudi Arabia gets to reap the benefits of the program, when key U.S. allies like Germany and France are not enrolled; Israel has reached a deal with the U.S., but that partnership has not yet been implemented.

Any Saudi travelers cleared through the program will be able to bypass the normal customs line after providing passports and fingerprints. The status lasts for five years.

Interesting. The only problem with this is, and it's very Mission Impossible-ish, if a Saudi trusted traveler gets kidnapped and the imposter steals his passport and glues on his fingerprints onto his fingers. This would be one way for a terrorist to get through.

The whole fingerprint replication technology isn't easy or cheap... so the Wal-mart solution would be to fly to Mexico and walk across the border.

I got a global entry pass a few months ago but I haven't used it yet, but they do know who you are and you don't skip passport controls it's just that you don't have to stand in the immigration line, it's still a dumb idea to give it to saudis tho
