ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - 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.
