Visitors to the US have to register online
Found on The Inquirer on Monday, 12 January 2009
Visitors to the former British colony of Virginia will have to undergo a further humiliation of registering online.
Normally they would be able to visit under the US Visa Waiver Program but now they will have to apply online for an Electronic System of Travel Authorisation before boarding a plane to the Land of the Free.
I wonder how much this helps. After all, some of the 9/11 terrorists had their flight training inside the US. Plus, as a terrorist, you don't go around and put your name onto every "do not let pass" list. Those sleepers had perfectly normal lives; even today they still could get tickets to the US.
