#1 "Sir, you've got an unpaid parking ticket in Oshkosh, WI. We can't let you back into the US unless you make a payment immediately. We accept cash or credit cards, no checks."

#2 Lol! Mew! Mew! Mew! Pfeh.

Funny how someone can always come up with a reason (lame or otherwise) against doing the obvious - to make it sound as if there's something unreasonable about doing it.

Bull Shit. I don't want some asshat jihadi to get in and do damage, kill people, whatever so some cheesedick can dodge a parking ticket. Wotta lame 'tard.

Here's the Crux of the Biscuit for the Terminally Stupid:
1) The laws we must obey haven't changed.
2) The ability of law enforcement to discover law-breaking and identify law-breakers has changed.

Got it?

If you're not a dickhead scofflaw, you have nothing new to worry about - so quit squealing like a baby and lying like doggies, k?

#3 Does this mean that eventually a satellite will be able to send out a pulse, and find all the passports that have been stolen?

#5 I'm with .com. I left Samizdata about 2.5 years ago (and came to RB) cos I got tired of fighting with the Libertarians over this. A revolution in security is coming and I can see in my lifetime a dramatic reduction in many forms of crime if only we don't let the f**kwit 'civil libertarians' get in the way.

#6 I left Samizdata about 2.5 years ago

Uh oh.... it can't have been that long? No! It's the compressed time effect again!
