TSA Discriminates, But Inefficiently - Risking Lives and Wasting Resources, Says Law Prof
PR Log (Press Release) –
Dec 30, 2009 – It is also illogical and nonsensical from a mathematical point of view, and unfair to many Muslim and Arabic travelers, says Prof. John Banzhaf, developer of the statistical tool known as the "Banzhaf Index," and recognized for his work in mathematics and game theory.
The operating procedures manual accidentally posted on the Internet by the TSA shows that the agency is now using both ethnicity and religion, at least indirectly, as factors in screening. The manual instructs screeners to automatically select, for secondary screening, all citizens of 12 named countries. Aside from 2 Communist nations, all of the others have large Muslim populations, including 8 which are at least 90% Muslim, and most are Arabic. This hardly seems to be just a coincidence.
But since all travelers from these countries are automatically singled out for secondary screening, the system fails to distinguish between toddlers or elderly women from the suspect country on the one hand, and young males from these same countries on the other. Thus elderly women, young children, and others from these countries very unlikely to pose any threat are automatically singled out simply because of their country of origin; virtually all Muslim and most Arabic.
This system also would not have singled out Umar Farouk Abdulmutalib for secondary screening, even though he is a young male from the 4th most populous Muslim country, suspiciously used cash to buy a one-way ticket, was on a watch list, and chose a seat known to make the aircraft especially vulnerable to explosions.
This is important because explosive materials, and bombs without metallic detonators, do not set off the metal detectors all passengers are required to walk though, and the more thorough secondary screening techniques which may be able to detect them -- e.g., using whole-body imaging scanners, "puffer" bomb-detection machines, or a lengthy hand pat down -- are either too expensive and/or take too much time to be used on the majority of passengers.
Thus logic, and the mathematics of testing and inspections, dictates that the only efficient method is to largely single out for secondary inspection those passengers most likely to be terrorists, and not to select fliers for the more thorough secondary inspection completely at random as the TSA now claims it does.
One way to help identify passengers who are substantially more likely to be terrorists is to utilize, in combination with other recognized signs, factors like nationality, gender, and age -- and possibly even religion and ethnicity -- in selecting passengers for secondary screening. Both the Supreme Court and the Justice Department have indicated this is constitutional, provided only that no single factor is decisive -- as it unfortunately is under the current TSA system.
Increasing the probability that those singled out for secondary screening are terrorists by considering ethnicity and/or religion, as well as gender, age, how, when and where the ticket was purchased, the demeanor and clothing of the passenger, etc., is the only logical way to make secondary screening effective and efficient, and capable of stopping terrorists without unreasonably delaying the traveling public or requiring enormous expense for new equipment and TSA screeners.
While some have suggested that behavioral analysis -- a technique pioneered Israel -- is preferable, it seems unlikely that this would work efficiently in the U.S. with our current TSA screeners and huge number of passengers. Moreover, news reports suggest that Israel does in fact use some profiling techniques, logically giving more attention and scrutiny to young Arab males than to elderly Asian females or Jewish-American children.
"We readily accept the proposition that persons buying one-way tickets for cash, or those apparently wearing more clothing than necessary, should be subject to greater scrutiny, even though only a tiny minority may be terrorists, and the predictive effectiveness of these factors may be somewhat limited. It may be time to do the same for religion, ethnicity, gender and age, which may be at least as effective as predictors. Let's stop giving young Muslim males no greater scrutiny than elderly Asian women, just because it seems politically correct," says Banzhaf.

Wintry Weather Tightens Grip On Midwest
PR Log (Press Release) –
Dec 29, 2009 – Heavy snowfall across many parts of the County is expected to lead to extremely difficult driving conditions while the return to sub zero temperatures at night will remain in place until the early days of next week at least.
Clare County Council said that seven road gritting crews have been covering 580 kms of road network during the Christmas period. Treated roads include all national, primary and secondary routes, as well as heavily trafficked regional roads. The Council said it hoped to replenish salt supplies later this evening.
According to Mayor of Clare Councillor Tony Mulcahy (available for interview on 086-2436345): “I wish to compliment the outdoor staff of Clare County Council for working throughout the Christmas period in often extremely difficult circumstances to ensure that as many roads as possible were salted and gritted. Motorists should keep to gritted routes where possible.”
Meanwhile, the Mayor has called on neighbours, family and friends of older people to ensure that the elderly, particularly those living alone, are kept warm and have sufficient food during the current period of cold weather.
Mayor Mulcahy noted that fuel poverty affected more than seven per cent of all pensioner households, and older people were sometimes reluctant to use up their electricity and fuel allowances. “Therefore, it is important that people across the County do their bit to assist elderly neighbours and family members”, he added.
Mayor Mulcahy continued, “According to figures from Age Action Ireland some 1,500 to 2,000 more people die in the winter months compared to the rest of the year, due largely to poor housing standards. The percentage of excess deaths in Ireland is 19 per cent, but it is ten per cent in Finland. These figures highlight the importance of checking on elderly relatives and neighbours to make sure that they are warm, have enough food and adequate heating.”
He added: “Older people, particularly those living in isolated areas, are more vulnerable during colder spells of weather. There are a number of simple measures that can be taken by the general public in order to reduce the risk to old people during cold and inclement weather”.
The Mayor explained, “Those who are elderly and living alone should be checked on by neighbours, morning and evening. A special check should be made on those elderly or disadvantaged who are housebound. Practical help can be given by bringing in solid fuel, ensuring the water supply is sufficient and checking that there is sufficient food in the house, including non-perishable foods. Where neighbours are concerned or worried they should contact the appropriate emergency services including the health services.”
Councillor Mulcahy referred members of the public to Age Action Ireland’s website ageaction.ie, which he said featured practical tips and advice.

FDI Voice | Driving While Texting Kills - What will it Take to Get this Message Out | FDIVoice
PR Log (Press Release) –
Dec 29, 2009 – One in four (26%) of American teens of driving age say they have texted while driving, and half (48%) of all teens ages 12 to 17 say they’ve been a passenger while a driver has texted behind the wheel.
These findings are based on a new report from the Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project that looks at teens, mobile phones and distracted driving. The results were derived from a telephone survey of 800 teens' and parents’ use of mobile phones and 9 focus groups conducted in 4 U.S. cities between June and October 2009 with teens between the ages of 12 and 18.
“Many teens understand the risks of texting behind the wheel,” said Amanda Lenhart, Senior Research Specialist at the Internet & American Life Project and co-author of the distracted driving report, “but the desire to stay connected is so strong for teens and their parents that safety sometimes takes a backseat to staying in touch with friends and family.”
“Cell phones are often seen as devices that can make our lives more efficient, allowing us to multi-task in our idle moments,” said Mary Madden, Senior Research Specialist and co-author of the report, “and whether you’re a teenager or an adult, it’s tempting to think you can manage several different activities at once.”
For every two seconds a driver's eyes are off the road, a motorist is twice as likely to be involved in a crash, said Troy Green, national spokesman for AAA.
"Texting while driving ... requires your full attention and leaves no room for distraction," Green said. "You'd have to be foolish at best and delusional at worst to think you can send and receive text messages while operating a motor vehicle effectively and safely....
We believe that's something that should be banned."
Texting and cell phone use have been blamed for numerous deadly crashes in the past few years
A recently released study (PDF) by the VirginiaTech Transportation Institute found that truck drivers who were texting were 23 times more at risk of a "crash or near crash event" than "nondistracted driving." As per talking on a cell phone, the same study found no increased risk for truck drivers and 1.3 times the risk for car drivers. There was considerably more risk associated with dialing while driving. The institute's Richard Hanowski acknowledges that the numbers are likely to be different with car drivers. As reported by CNET's Jennifer Guevin, the study also found that "texting took a driver's focus away from the road for an average of 4.6 seconds--enough time...to travel the length of a football field at 55 mph."
Teens at biggest risk
When it comes to texting while driving, teens are a particular risk group considering that, according to Nielsen (PDF), "The average U.S. mobile teen now sends or receives an average of 2,899 text-messages per month" and apparently some of those texts are being sent and read from behind the wheel.
A 2007 study conducted by AAA and Seventeen magazine has been widely misquoted as 46 percent of teens admit to texting while driving. But what the study found is that "61 percent of teens admit to risky driving habits." Forty-six percent of that 61 percent say that they text message while driving.
This issue is in the news a bit more than usual these days because of a shocking video created by a police department in the UK. It depicts a teenage girl texting while driving followed by a terrible crash with gruesome results for her friends in her car and the family whose car she hit. Before viewing the video (scroll down) please be aware that it is graphic and very disturbing. And before forwarding it to a teenager, also be aware that many youth risk prevention specialists question the effectiveness of videos that try to use shock value to change teen behavior.
Video is a Dramatization, but it is graphic in nature- Warning!

Express Technologies Expands Logistics Data Center
PR Log (Press Release) –
Dec 17, 2009 – Express Technologies has announced a major expansion to its LoadTech Logistics Data Center.
Originally opened in January 2007, the data center provides high-availability and high-capacity logistics platforms for the LoadTech transportation software. The center offers true cloud computing and logistics-software-as-a-service.
The expansion more than doubles the center’s capacity. The new state-of-the-art technology ensures that the company will remain a leader in enterprise solutions to logistics service providers.
The facility boasts a sophisticated R&D lab, 24x7 manned security, multi-redundancy in telecomm and power, plus guaranteed uptime. It is ISO and SAS70 compliant. The expansion also accommodates Express Technologies' growing staff. As an added benefit, the LoadTech data center offers significant advantages for companies seeking to fulfill sustainability and green initiatives.
“This is an investment in our clients and in the future,” noted Brandon Barnhart, Director of Transportation Solutions. “The expansion means that our software and upgrades provide even more value to our clients. We have been ahead of the trends in Logistics IT toward managed services, SAAS, and outsourcing. The data center has been our springboard for further growth.”
Paul Maloney, President and CEO adds, “The acceptance of our LoadTech software and data center services in the marketplace has validated our approach. This expansion further lowers the cost-of-entry for prospective clients and lowers cost-of-upgrade/expansion for existing users. Our investment places enterprise-class software and infrastructure within reach of all transportation firms, eliminating cap-ex issues and delivering cash flow and tax advantages. It benefits both new customers as well as veteran customers who want to improve their systems. This makes an already valuable solution more attractive to our logistics target market.”
The expansion continues the firm’s initiative to offer the transportation industry a variety of system deployment and acquisition options. “Logistics service providers and their IT departments have myriad options with LoadTech: Traditional licensing, transactional monthly fees, leasing, renting, and SAAS. Moreover, the market gains options to deploy LoadTech on their own servers, at a third-party co-location center, or in the LoadTech data center,” Mr. Maloney continues. “It allows our prospective clients to mix-and-match both software acquisition terms and deployment configurations. Existing users can choose to upgrade their capabilities by migrating their existing system to the LoadTech Data Center. This multitude of options meets both IT strategies and corporate budgets without cutting corners.”
"The trend in logistics toward cloud computing, global reach, consolidation, and data center operations has been well noted by the transportation trade press and analysts," explained Mr. Barnhart. "The expansion allows our customers to expand capacity and capability while at the same time reducing costs, which is significant in this freight market."
The new facility is located in Pittsburgh, PA. Because the firm has a worldwide clientele, the data center is accessible around the globe 24/7/365.
Express Technologies is a national leader in software and systems for the transportation, distribution, and logistics industries. The firm’s flagship system, LoadTech, serves carriers, brokers, 3PL’s, intermodal, and international operations. Headquartered near Pittsburgh, PA, the firm’s mission is to be the nation’s leading provider of technical solutions to the transportation industry.

Long Awaited Cummins Training Released by Team AVI
PR Log (Press Release) –
Dec 15, 2009 – Cummins are one of the easiest diesel systems to work on and are a great way for gas technicians to get their feet wet with diesel diagnostics and repair. This class will help diesel shops who are interested in learning more about the Cummins system and gas technicians who would like to get into diesel work.
With the information contained in this class, you will be able to diagnose any 5.9 Dodge Cummins from 2002 to 2009 in 15 minutes or less. Dave explains fuel system analysis with complete low pressure diagnosis. He covers the high pressure side of the fuel system including the common rail, connector tubes and injector diagnosis. The program explains all the sensor inputs on the vehicle, boost and the intake side of the system including turbo chargers and intercoolers.
Dave provides troubleshooting tips including what to do when all the controllers do not talk to each other. The program covers multiplex bus systems and provides the skills to diagnose multiplex bus issues in less than two minutes. The PCI bus system is covered, which is the system Chrysler uses to interface multiple controllers together. When those systems go down a scanner cannot communicate with the system.
This 2 hour DVD teaches you how to diagnose all these systems very quickly. Dave shows you how to diagnose not only the PCI bus system but also the CAN systems that are used in the newer models. The program uses the OTC Genisys, Snap-On Modis and OEM scanner for diagnostics and shows you how to diagnose Cummins with any generic or OEM scan tool. A supplemental manual is included with the program.
For more information about this class or any other AVI training programs, please visit the website at www.auto-video.com or call (800) 718-7246 ext. 233.
