House overwhelmingly passes anti-terror legislation

From AP:

Anti-terror legislation sailed through the House on Tuesday, the first in a string of measures designed to fulfill campaign promises made by Democrats last fall.

Patterned on recommendations of the commission that investigated the Sept. 11 attacks, the far-reaching measure includes commitments for inspection of all cargo carried aboard passenger aircraft and on ships bound for the United States.

The vote was a bipartisan 299-128, and Speaker Nancy Pelosi took the speaker's rostrum to announce the passage of the first legislation to clear under the new Democratic majority.

Of course, Bush opposes it. Let's see him dare veto the recommendations of the 9/11 Commission. It would be nice for Democrats to have both the White House and the Congress in 2 years.
