USA's already become a quasi police state; [Patriot Act, Dept of "Homeland Security"] like criminals and prisoners, ...all foreigners are finger printed and photographed; and the airlines are made to fork over all booking info, including credit card numbers, phone numbers, ...and all this info is forever stored in deep underground computer cities, save from atomic bomb attacks. If you visit, welcome to the land of superlative individual rights, freedom, democracy and the pursuit of happiness. Irrespective of your criminal past in the UK, you will be well treated if you "tell all" and invite big government to be your friend.
