Quick Takes- Legislation Notice
The latest information on the September 11th hijackers reveals that Florida police stopped ringleader Mohamed Atta not once, but twice, in the two months prior to the attacks.

James Sensenbrenner's HR418, the "Real ID Act," aims to prohibit the issuance to illegal aliens of any form of identification usable for a federal purpose -- such as boarding a commercial aircraft.
