Das ist das Entwürdigende an der Paranoia...

this is the reason for me, to not set a foot into the US anymore.

The whole procedure takes less than a minute, so it's really no big deal. But then, one can make a big deal out of pretty much everything these days...

This year is the first year we are not going to visit our friends in Seattle.

But it looks like that Germany will introduce a biometric ID at the end of next year so we'll carry our fingerprints. Isn't that great? I feel so safe now.

Degrading. One more reason not to fly to americans.

Personally, i also have also the problem that i´m using linux ( on the notebook), hej, i´m a terrorist now - as determined by Microsoft & Schorsch W.

Big deal or no big deal. As long as the reason for these measures is not properly and convincingly (!!!) explained, I will not travel to this weired country any more!

There is other places to visit.

This intimidating procedure reminds me more of going to jail than to the Land of the Free.
