#1 Justice system, why does it want to kill us

#2 If the EU doesn't wanna work with us, then fine, such is life. Our security requirements exceed their EU Tranzi political game BS, half-hearted "there is no WoT" ambivalence, and limp-dick courts system. Keep State out of it and call their bluff. Somehow I get the feeling they need our free-spending deep pockets more than we need their over-priced goods. Hard to accept there is much produced there that isn't produced here... especially regards critical or strategic goods. I could be wrong, but I really don't think so.

#3 You'd think that if their heart was in it, the Euros could fix this quickly. You know, if their heart was in it.

Queen Mary II going back to the Atlantic service soon?

Time for State to issue a warning to get your air travel done by March 07 or reroute through another country cause direct flights die. You thought the Frenchies were whining about a drop in tourism before. Just wait.

#4 You know, I have a hard time seeing how this violates any meaningful right to privacy. Since when did anyone have a right to enter the U.S. incognito?

#5 Turn 'em back. No info, no entry. Foxtrot Union, boys.

#6 EU has some draconian rules on data privacy. Honored in the breach within many countries, but they've long used it against US multinationals doing business there -- payroll data can't be exported to US for consolidation and analysis, for instance. So EU analysts and programmers have to be hired for that purpose.
