Since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, Nawar Shora, the legal director for the Arab American Anti-Discrimination Committee, has sparred with the federal government over what he saw as security abuses against minorities. Now, he is joining the Transportation Security Administration as a senior consultant for its office of civil rights and liberties.
Shora, 33, said the move next month to the Department of Homeland Security will back up what he has been telling interns for a decade, urging them to enter federal service.
"I'm finally practicing what I preach," said Shora, a self-described "Arab country boy" who was born in Syria and raised in Huntington, W.Va.
