Picture the scene - You are in the Travel Agent's, before your travel details are confirmed - you are shown into a room where 2 gentleman in dark glasses and dark suits - sit you down for an intimate insite to your life ..and only if they think you meet the travel security requirments do you then get to finish your booking. (online bookings could not be confirmed till a meeting has been carried out)
Would you be happy with this ? Or do you think its a step to Moscow cold war State ?

It is definitely the direction we're heading. Folks don't understand that Homeland Security is nothing more than the American KGB, and that whatever civil rights and liberties we thought we had went out the window with the Patriot Acts. To garner our support for the Iraq war, Bush warned us that terrorism threatens our liberties. Yet Iraq is not the source of terrorism, and it is BUSH that severly decreased our civil rights and liberties, and brought us one finger-snap away from a police state.
If you want a REAL scare, look into FEMA and see what they REALLY are all about...what their powers are in a time of "unspecified national emergency"...that cannot be contested by Congress.
BIG BROTHER is already here. The RFID chips are coming real soon. Those who rape this country's Constitution label themselves patriots, and us devout Americans have become the enemy...already.

We're close to having national identity cards, etc. The truth is, you can never be safe. Do your recalled the Arab pilot who aparently comitted suicide by diving his passanger liner into the Atlantic?
Safety is good, but at what price. Dont know if you are aware, but to take a cruise from the US, you have to file documents weeks before.
