"Karim Koubriti, 23, and Ahmed Hannan, 33, taken into custody Sept. 17, attended the U.S. Truck Driver Training School in Detroit this summer, said the school's president, Joseph LaBarge. Koubriti passed the state commercial drivers license exam on Aug. 22 and received a permit to transport hazardous materials. Hannan failed the road test, LaBarge said."

"We understand he was turned down" at the USDA "and they referred him to us," said Epling. A loan officer at the bank remembered a phone call from someone inquiring about crop-dusters, an unusual request because there are so few of the planes left in the area, Epling said. Nothing came of the inquiry from the unnamed person.
James Lester, an employee of South Florida Crop Care in Belle Glade, told the FBI that Atta was among the men who in groups of two or three visited the crop-dusting firm nearly every weekend for six or eight weeks before the attacks.
Atta was a persistent questioner and "I recognized him because he stayed on my feet all the time. I just about had to push him away from me," Lester said.

Hopefully everyone will be able to make effective use of these and see what the gov has up its sleeve for us. These are NOT the final versions to be voted on but will give a good indicator of the intent and direction of the gov't. As always, it is not pretty for the citizens.
