does american citizents need apassportto travel inthe usa?

Question

there talks about anew law tobe able to travel in the usa that have to have passport ,isthat for real?

Answer 1

The new law does not require a passport to travel WITHIN the US. It requires that anyone, whether or not they are an American citizen, must obtain permission to leave or re-enter the U.S.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (HSA) has proposed that all airlines, cruise lines-even fishing boats-be required to obtain clearance for each passenger they propose taking into or out of the United States.

It doesn't matter if you have a U.S. Passport - a "travel document" that now gives you a virtually unqualified right to enter or leave the United States, any time you want, when the DHS system comes into effect next January, if the agency says "no" to a clearance request, or doesn't answer the request at all, you won't be permitted to enter-or leave-the United States.

Answer 2

No. American citizens will need a passport to cross from a different country into the US starting on January 8, 2007 but a passport is not required for travel within the 50 states.

Answer 3

Traveling within the 50 states will not require a passport. But as of January 2007 you will need a passport to go to destinations like Canada and Mexico, where in the past they did not require passports.

Answer 4

No passport or visa required for U.S citizens to travel any were in the 50 United States. Talk is cheep , there will never be a law passed here requiring Passport or Visa to travel here in our homeland. There may be word of new laws, but it's not for U.S citizens.
