But our gov't in Blighty (in the name of Jacqui Smith) seems to be determined to ''better'' the USA.

If I were a terrorist I'd fly to Mexico pick up some fakes then drive to America and explode. Problem solved. Same as if I were a terrorist heading to the UK, I'd fly to Europe pick up some fakes in Poland then drive into England where I'd explode.

There are two questions to be asked at future job interviews:

1: Have you, yourself, travelled to, or from, any destination within the past five years that has required you to submit data to the United States DHS?

2: Have you had close contact with anyone that has submitted data to the DHS?

if the answers to both of the above is not "NO", you cannot be hired, due to security problems.

I thought they sold sofas?? :-S

Did anyone actually think the Department of Homeboy Security actually gives a gnat's arse about what's legal? ROFLMAO

"if the answers to *either* of the above is *"YES"*, you cannot be hired, due to security problems."

There, fixed that for all the people out there that don't want their brains to hurt.

1) you don't know, because you don't submit data to the DHS, the DHS simply gets access to supposedly private information without your knowledge or consent. They're even doing that for people who simply fly over their airspace, without stopping in the USA.

2) see (1).

The DHS will be getting access to your privates. NOW you have something to worry about.

can have access to my privates any day!
