My ongoing neck pain is really slowing down my productivity this week. However, here’s more on the US gov’t and passport silliness. As if the RFID chip proposal wasn’t bad enough, this one is, pun intended, a real pain in the neck.
THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION’S announcement that U.S. citizens are soon going to need passports to get back into their country from Mexico and Canada, is being played as a way to keep Americans safer. But like most everything else this president has done in the name of security, the only things there will be more of if this measure goes through are bureaucracy, hassles for Americans who don’t have passports and never needed them before to travel to Mexico or Canada, and bad feeling between the United States and its neighbors.
