The Senate has voted 93 to 1 tonight. The House voted last week on the same measure 354 to 66. What the 9/11 Commission bill does is allow the Secretary to eliminate or change listed felonies. allowing TWIC cards. these secure area cards. to possibly be given to those who have been convicted of smuggling. arson. kidnapping. rape. extortion. bribery. money laundering. hostage taking. unlawful use of a firearm. drug dealing. immigration violations. assault with intent to kill. robbery. fraudulent entry to a seaport or racketeering. These are serious crimes. Although there is often talk of giving people a second chance. that second chance should not come at the expense of the security of our Nation.
