I believe it's up to 5% now.

Now there's security in action.....:-)

How would you inspect every container entering the US?


When you say inspected, do you understand that they don't
actually open them up and check inside? Mostly they run an
x-ray machine around the container. A very slow process as
it's done now.
At least on the East Coast, they set a dozen or so
containers on the ground, in line, then drive the x-ray
machine over them, slowly. A costly , time consuming
process.
I don't know why they don't have a drive thru type machine.

You're an ex-cop. How would you deal with terrorism in
Australia?


He'd remove all guns from citizens.

What does being able to drink us under the table have to

of a 40 oz. baseball bat applied to the occipital region
of the skull?


It's the things he'd do to us under that table that worry
me. shudder

Ummm, Max, it's not penalizing Mooron at all. It's a
big world out
there, lotta interesting places.

Certainly, but the US sits on his nearby southern border.
Jakarta doesn't.
I enter Canada from two to five times per year, and its
disappointing that
the border constraints are in place, but that won't stop
me. Petty
bureaucracies exist in nearly every place in the world,
and unless you
choose to become a self-isolationist you simply deal with
them and go about
your business.

But this really has nothing to do with Moroon's
inconvenience or his
principles. He loves to grind the anti-US axe with those
of us here from
the US. So does Ozzy. It seems to be their cyber
recreational pleasure of
late. And we'd be remiss if we didn't call them on
it--hell, they'd find no
pleasure at all in a one-sided diatribe with no
opposition. So in my own
way I'm making it possible for you, Moroon and Ozzy to
enjoy your time on
ASA. You can thank me now or later.

Sensitive little sucker!

Don't be confused, I am and never have been anti
American..though I
tended toward that when the American people re elected the
guy who has
put the US in a position from which it is unlikely to
recover.

I am, and have been since Bush was elected, firmly anti US
Govt.


As are most 'Mericans.

Too late now....heck, even Cheney shoots his friends.


Only because he was drunk.

in the US?

US citizens aren't subjected to those things.

At least not yet.

You might be right. Everything today seems to be carried to extremes for
some reason. Between the media fear mongering and the political
finger-pointing, this home security thing will continue to expand to levels
we can't even imagine right now.


Just remember, if it saves 1 life, it's worth it.

That's not a prerequisite for shooting someone?


No, but it's a good excuse.

Seems to me you assume that because you find Canada worth visiting
repeatitly... I should feel the same way about the USA. I don't..... and
you shouldn't take that personally... get all insulted, and claim I'm anti
American.

Max.... if you consider getting fingerprinted merely an inconvenience... we
just have to agree to disagree. I can supply security documentation and
references... but this is not adequate to satisfy the US Customs. If I view
their requirements as beyond that which I am willing to provide.... how can
you state that as anti American? Does my personal decision offend your
national pride? What makes you think I am short changing myself because I
refuse to comply with a ridiculous request? I wouldn't travel to any country
requiring that level of infringement on my privacy and freedoms.
