This is Your Freedom on Drugs
Posted by: gareth

Sign of the Apocalypse Tonight on NBC Nightly News, John Seigenthaler delivered the following news item without any further information or comment. This is basically verbatim:

"For the first time ever, Americans traveling outside the country will be required to provide details of their trip which will be checked against security databases."

What the f**k does THAT mean? What security databases? How much detail? Checked for what? And by whom?

And how can something so completely Big Brother-esque be reported with a straight face, without any more information or further reporting?

More on this: Watching the CNN crawl this morning, they had an item about how the INS is proposing a new rule that all passengers, including all US citizens, on planes leaving the US must have their I.D.s sent to the INS. What business is it of the INS which Americans are LEAVING the country?
