Friends of Liberty reports We're All Prisoners, Now: US Citizens to be Required ''Clearance'' to Leave USA. "Forget no-fly lists. 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."
Your passport is supposed to give you the right to enter or leave the country, however the Department of Homeland Security has proposed that you'll need to explicitly get permission to enter or leave the US, yes even for US citizens.
"The U.S. Supreme Court has long recognized there is a constitutional right to travel internationally. Indeed, it has declared that the right to travel is "a virtually unconditional personal right." The United States has also signed treaties guaranteeing "freedom of travel." So if these regulations do go into effect, you can expect a lengthy court battle, both nationally and internationally."
I'm glad the Democrats won the elections.
