According to Coleman, the TSA and the ACLU reached an agreement in January. The agreement will involve training designed to prevent black women from being singled out for hair searches.

The TSA confirmed the agreement to BuzzFeed News in an email Friday:

TSA reached an informal agreement with the ACLU to enhance officer training. Racial profiling is not tolerated by TSA. Not only is racial profiling prohibited under DHS and agency policy, but it is also an ineffective security tactic.

In a letter sent to Coleman and posted online by the ACLU, the TSA further explained that it will retrain officers to stress “race neutrality.” The training will place “special emphasis on hair patdowns of African American female travelers” and will be designed to avoid discrimination.

To the girl who asked, “when was the last time seeing a mans (sic) nipple gave you lady wood? Was it NEVER?” and all those of the belief that it’s ok for men to expose their nipples because they’re, like, totally not sexy, whereas women’s are. Wrong again! Up until the mid 30s, it was illegal for men to flash their nips in public, because society deemed them too risqué, and, ultimately, too sexy for their shirt. However, in 1936, all this changed. Fighting for their right to #freethenipple, a group of topless guys from Coney Island got themselves arrested when they took to the beach one sunny afternoon. However, justice prevailed, and, from that moment on, men were given the legal right to get their tits out for the lads, all over the world. Gentlemen, your nipples have enjoyed freedom since the 30s; why not let women’s enjoy theirs?

These are quite simply some of the best recordings you could pick to represent our country’s musical output. Among the best picks are Lauryn Hill’s The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, Ben E. King’s “Stand By Me” and Radiohead’s OK Computer, but every single one is a gem:

A massive ancient ocean once covered nearly half of the northern hemisphere of Mars making the planet a more promising place for alien life to have gained a foothold, Nasa scientists say.

The huge body of water spread over a fifth of the planet’s surface, as great a portion as the Atlantic covers the Earth, and was a mile deep in places. In total, the ocean held 20 million cubic kilometres of water, or more than is found in the Arctic Ocean, the researchers found.
