Intelligence Reform Bill?

There has been alot of hoopla over intelligence reform lately, a misnomer in and of itself, as any time politicians get together, nothing intelligent results.  Anyway, supposedly the big debate over intelligence reform, to protect us poor dumb schmucks, is over, and a revamped bill will be sent over to Bush for signing.

I wonder if the holdup of the reforms being cried for was all due to this.

"As part of the intelligence bill passed Wednesday, Congress added the lighters to the long list of banned items, including scissors, penknives and box cutters. The ban does not apply to checked luggage."

Could be, according to this.

"Democratic Sens. Ron Wyden of Oregon and Byron Dorgan of North Dakota had pushed for the change for more than a year after learning that the Transportation Security Administration allowed them on planes."

Congress, making the world a safer place for dumb asses.

“Bill bars air travelers from carrying butane lighters"
