why dont they just ban passengers and be done with it - save a lot of hassle and money...

Pretty soon even if you could get to the US, no one will want to go and visit big brother!

Latest quote from Uncle Sam;
"Who said that I'm paranoid and why are they saying that about me??"
Seriously; there are times when I fear deeply for this world when I read and see what some authorities will do in the name of 'security'.

You only live twice. Once when
you're born. Once when
you've looked death in the face.
