Even more big brother? (very OT)

No bashing ... but what's going on in the USA? I just read Al Gore's book "The Assault on Reason" and one day after I finished reading it I found this:

Bush Signs Law to Widen Legal Reach for Wiretapping

After Visitors are treated like criminals at the border (fingerprint, photo, sometimes interrogation by your homeland security guards) I decided not to visit the USA anymore (as long as guests are treated like this).

Now one has to fear even the slightest communication with US citizens. Scary ...
