E.O. 13166 Actually Does Something Good

Proof that even a stopped clock is right twice each day: Clinton Executive Order 13166 may well have freed airline passengers from answering those two famous questions about their baggage.

E.O. 13166 requires all federally-funded services to function in anyone's choice of language on demand. If the FAA continued to require all passengers to answer two question asked in English, passengers would have the right to demand those same questions be asked in any other language.
