Amerikkalaiset - vankeja omassa maassaan

"Terrorismin" vastainen sota kiihtyy Amerikassa.
Tammikuun 14. päivä yksikään amerikkalainen ei pääse maasta ulos tai takaisin maahan ilman lupaa, mikäli uusi laki astuu voimaan.

If Uncle Sam gets its way, beginning on Jan. 14, 2007, we'll all be on no-fly lists, unless the government gives us permission to leave-or re-enter-the United States.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (HSA) has proposed that all airlines, cruise lines-even fishing boats-be required to obtain clearance for each passenger they propose taking into or out of the United States.

It doesn't matter if you have a U.S. Passport - a "travel document" that now, absent a court order to the contrary, gives you a virtually unqualified right to enter or leave the United States, any time you want.

When the DHS system comes into effect next January, if the agency says "no" to a clearance request, or doesn't answer the request at all, you won't be permitted to enter-or leave-the United States.

Why might the HSA deny you permission to leave-or enter-the United States?

No one knows, because the entire clearance procedure would be an administrative determination made secretly, with no right of appeal.

Naturally, the decision would be made without a warrant, without probable cause and without even any particular degree of suspicion.

Milloin sama Suomessa? Please, älkää enää päästäkö Luhtasta ja Rajamäkeä allekirjoittamaan sopimuksia USA:n kanssa!
