the US-VISIT program.... making America MORE safe?
Or just giving the appearance of safety?

I really wonder how anyone can believe that this silly program will make America more safe from "terrorism."

According to all the experts on worldwide terror organizations, they are well-funded and have many identities on which to draw. Since there are 28 nations whose subjects are not required to participate, what is to stop the terrorists from making false passports from those countries?

What terrorist in his right rutted mind would come from, say, Libya or Lebanon directly to JFK to commit criminal terror acts?

Wouldn't make more sense to have a Canadian, Mexican or UK paspporrt so you would not be noticed throgugh the gates.

Why would a terrorist come through the front door?

And the perpetuation of fear. Welcome to the age of Bush politics.
