ORLANDO, FL - Authorities agreed to rewrite training guidelines for a program that would teach firefighters and workers who regularly go into homes to report signs of terrorist activity.

The decision to scrap 5,000 printed brochures came a week after civil rights advocates criticized the plan. The new guidelines will remove references to particular ethnic groups.

The brochure cautioned that “multiple adult males living together, usually of Middle Eastern appearance and between the ages of 18 and 45, with little or no furnishings” could signal international terrorism.

It also called for workers to report signs of drug trafficking and child sex abuse.

2. You see, previously it never occured to firefighters

And other government employees that a 100-lb. fertilizer bomb in the living room might be something to report. They're just making sure that the procedures are clear.
