I remember hearing something about NAFTA. The US did sign that right?
All that falls into oblivion - same as all the other treaties and the economy when there is an idiot supposedly "leading". The US is no longer a country that is trusted - it has the ranking of a rogue state.

Other countries, at least yet, have not reached the level of paranoia which exisits in the States, - else we would be giving US citizens a DNA test as well.

There are two sides to this, one is *genuine* defence which is reasonable, - the other is a persistance in "control" which was already over the top. Genuine defence has become the "excuse" for control.

I used to visit the US regularly, both for biz and to see friends. Now I have no wish to land on *any* US territory,- I don't need the crap. Friends "escape" the US and visit us instead. Hell, that even applies to others non "US citizens" visiting, who flew with a dropdown in the US - they avoid any contact and fly direct now.

The comments from Thunderball are where much of the world gets it's "perceptions" of the US - popcorn culture populated by dumbos - sad shit!
