The Senate last night passed legislation to implement the final recommendations of the September 11 Commission that includes the "John Doe" provision to protect airline passengers from being sued if they report suspicious behavior that foreshadows a terrorist attack.But Allah wonders if it really matters, and he makes a good point.
Seems like we must grant absolute civil immunity for tipsters, otherwise CAIR can still harass any one they want. The safeguard should not be the "objectively reasonably†standard, but rather criminal liability for falsehoods, misleading statements, or harassment. Which simply means that we should let the FBI, TSA, and other law enforcement agencies decide the line between harassment and a mistake, and not CAIR.
Of course this won't placate CAIR, since in their eyes everyone, including the FBI, is against Muslims. This is why CAIR so opposes this provision. They believe they are the only ones qualified to watch the watchers.
