Why should Dol, Sue, John D'Oh, Maple, Riley, Nak or I need a visa to travel to the US as tourists or on business? From what I can tell on this forum, none of us fall into the profile of would be terrorists. |

Good question, AlbertaCrude. At first, I thought we could exempt our Canadian TNCR members from visa requirement... then I remembered yhapho. US visa requirement is applied based on a person's country of citizenship, not individual profiles. So even if you are a Catholic preist raised as an orphan from day one by a Catholic church-run ophanage, if you are a citizen of, say, Morroco, you'll need a visa. The French, eventhough there was a French citizen among the 19 9/11 hijackers, are not required to apply for a visa to visit the US. C'est la vie. |

Hmm... you reminded me of John Ashcroft's attempt to expand the Attorney General's power to strip Americans of their citizenship... there might be something to that idea after all! |

That's the wrong approach. Should be based on profiling of some sort. Let's see now... how would a Muslim terrorist or any terrorist for that matter, likely look? |

Political correctness has no place in national security. It's also worth noting that whatever the government claim, unofficial profiling goes on. I work with two people who travel extensively, one is Iranian, and one is Greek but has features that could easily make him be mistaken for an Arab. They are both US citizens. They tend to get searched a lot. I can't imagine why. That being said, my 76 year old mother was taken into a little room a month ago when she visited. Maybe they thought she was going to smuggle decent cheese into the country, or something. Or maybe they were just making up the numbers. |
