Yeah, yeah. It's possible. IIRC however it's consider an afront to God for a man to dress in womans clothing, whether the end would justify the means in terms of shari'ah? I'm not sure.
The thing about profiling is that you are working the percentages. Yes it's possible that the Inuit grandma with arthritis is a muslim extremist with a surgically implanted bomb - but checking everyone is not a realistic possibility if you want to run an airline. So we rule out extreme cases and look for the more probable cases: like the trembling 20-something muslim and his two young friends from Finnsbury clutching Korans, carrying backpacks and muttering under their breath. Yes that's a naive hyperbolic example, but you'd want to check them wouldn't you? Or would you just let them pass and check that Australian Aboriginal grandma's knitting??
Well yeah. You're right it does create clean code just like any editor that can be used as a text editor. So from that perspective MS Word also produces clean code, you just have to type the code in and use the.txt output filter (i'm assuming it still does that without messing up, I bet you get a nasty BOM or something, it's been a while).
The thing that gets me is that designers that want to make minor edits in design view mess my clean pages up in seconds without realising what they're doing. There's no "we're adding swathes of unnecessary code is that ok yes//no" warning.
Also, clean code invariably isn't displayed correctly in the design view.
DW is for me no better than many other code completion editors; except... the version management and integrated ftp. Kate does the FTP stuff, but I don't get versions and easy roll-back. Setting up my own SVN server seems overkill.
Yeah I use inkscape for page layout too (crayon first!). It's good for doing a visual that you can instantly edit if you're chatting with clients (similarly I use the webdev CSS editor at a later stage for this type of thing)... I haven't used it but wonder if inkboard (a part of inkscape for collaborative drawing - I think) might help here too?
Oh and Xara... I couldn't get it running initially, when I did I couldn't get used to the funky UI. That's not totally because I'm wedded to Inkscape; I've started off with CorelDraw X3 recently and took a lot better to that.

Never?... that same church in which thousands of believers (monks) spent nearly every day transcribing scripture, that preserved a huge canon of early literature by creating more (surviving) copies than any other early book...? That same church that has the most published book in (known) history as it's central text? That same church whose people went to all corners to teach literacy - admittedly to serve an agenda of Bible knowledge.
What you mean is that in the established church of the middle ages many "bishops" abused their positions of power keeping latin scripture in order to subvert the masses from coming in to contact with the truth.
