9/11 OT |
On Monday, U.S immigration officers began fingerprinting (digital) and
photographing tens of thousands of visitors arriving from certain other
countries. Between 5:30 AM and 6 PM on Monday, 27, 420 foreigners were
fingerprinted and photographed.
Citizens of 27 nations, including Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand,
Singapore, and most European nations, are exempt if they are visiting as
tourists for less than 90 days.

This is the typical ineptitude of our federal government at work. We
finally implement a program. One law enforcement has been wanting for
years. But we are going to exempt just enough countries, to make it easy
for the real terrorists to get around. Weather you like this program or
hate it. You have to admit that only applying it to half the countries
in the world is stupid.

Oh woe is me... we are going to miss all of those Australian, Canadian,
Japanese, and New Zealander terrorists.
But you know, I think we can make do with that.

Well I don't think too many Canadians are going to plot terrorist
attacks against the USA. However Canada is an easy access border to the
USA. So if someone from oh lets just say Turkey for giggles. Wants to
get into the USa he first goes to Canada, then he just walks across the
border at Niagara falls and is in.

So you are assuming is there are no australian born citizens with terrorist
sympathies, no one who would not take advantage of the entry requirements to
do harm against American citizens. Hmmm why do I keep thinking of David
Hicks and how many more are there like him in Australia?

Given the pourous nature of the Canadian border, perhaps we should

Only the federal government would do something so stupid as to allow
half the countries not to apply. Think of it this way. If you patented a
new product. would you do it in such a way, that it only applied to
companies that have stolen patents from you before? or would you (also)
want to be protected from the ones, who might steal a patient form you
next week?
