Comment Only effect Americans not 55 million visitors??? (Score 1) 510
People will not be protected under this rediculous plan as it would appear this is nothing more than big brother being allowed to aggregate data on U.S. citizens and profile us.
Nowhere is it mentioned and nor is it possible that the 55 Million foreign visitors that enter the U.S. every year will be able to have a similar amount of data regarding their potential threat assesment be calculated as the U.S. Government doesn't have access to credit and criminal data about any of the 310 Million Europeans or the 1.2 Billion Chinese or any other nation.
So it would appear this measure is only intended to know who is traveling within the U.S. and how to make it more difficult for deadwood Americans to be pestered away from using valuable resources better used by others.
