Illiteracy and foolish superstations have defined our religious customs. Every illiterate ad add to the superstation because of poor or no realization. Illiterate Taliban gives Islam a barbaric meaning, in India Tantric has created a f*****G version of Hinduism (sanatan dharma), and there are similar Christians who has spoilt the meaning of Christianity. The actual problem is true literacy. Animal sacrifice is common in Nepal, Assam, Bihar, Orissa, some part of Bengal and Tamil Nadu. Needless to say Indian illiterate community has strong presence in these states. In this lawless country weak governments never tried to develop awareness because leaders are unaware. I remember a district Superintendent of Police (I forgot name of that foolish guy) of Assam sacrificing a buffalo in temple……such a illiterate guy he is!!! The escaped powerless king of Nepal is another such character. I hope someday such shameful superstations will be checked by strict law. Dr. Sandeep Sharma, NY, USA.

From the press release: <blockquote>Following the Boeing 767, will be a Boeing 747 that is scheduled to begin flying in mid-December and a Boeing 777 that is scheduled to fly in early February. After these three aircraft are modified, the rollout schedule will accelerate and run in parallel by aircraft type through fall 2009 with approximately one reconfigured aircraft per week joining the fleet.</blockquote> You’re probably out of luck, unless you score the ONE 747 that is scheduled to be completed in December.

I'm planning a trip to Southeast Asia in December, so this knowledge could be helpful in making my travel plans.

Also prisons. But I think those rules predate 911. I'm neither a lawyer, nor do I play one on TV or the campaign trail, so YMMV. 1973 huh? Wow, Nixon flashback. Wasn't that right before we strung up another gov't in another distant land? I also think that might be around the time I first kissed a pretty girl. Definitely a mixed year. -TF I believe you also cannot leave gov’t buildings to avoid a search. Also prisons. But I think those rules predate 911.
