No bashing, but ...

In Response To: World championships in Vegas (poseidon)

... I have some problems to imaging flying to the U.S.A. and GB at the moment. In both countries you are treated like criminals (in U.S.A only at the airport, GB is the Big Brother meanwhile with all its surveillance).

Taking fingerprints of all ten fingers, a digital photo and accepting scans of your electronic equipment (in case you use encryption you have to provide the HLS with the passwords, otherwise your notebook, mobile phone, etc. will be confiscicated) is not what I like.

This is one reason that I never showed up in the U.S.A since Feb 2001 though I really enjoyed a trip to Phoenix in the past and I'd love to gamble in Las Vegas once.

Ciao
