Since you don't get it, I'll explain. Anyone crossing into the good ol'
US of A can be fingerprinted and photographed at the whim of an
individual customs officer. The way you clowns are heading I wonder how
long it will be until travellers into the States get tattooed, perhaps
on a forearm?
On principle I have terminated 25 years of yearly travel with my family
to Florida and will not return to the US until reason returns. There are
many other sunny destinations where my disposable income is welcomed and
quite frankly needed to a much greater degree.

Have someone read the USA Patriot Act to you, better still have someone
convert it into comic book form so that it will be easier for you to
comprehend. Detention without charges or right to access to counsel,
extortion/coercion of "cooperation" of public facilities like libraries,
wiretapping, eavesdropping, "Homeland Security", "Coastal Watch"
programs, encouragement of informing, etc...

You poor schmuck. The Bushstapo has trampled your constitutional rights
and you're too clued out to realize it.
