DHS Will Now Vet UK Air Passengers To Mexico, Canada, Cuba 417
First time accepted submitter illtud writes "From April, UK passengers flying to Mexico, Eastern Canada or Cuba will have to submit their details at least 72 hours before boarding to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security for pre-flight vetting (as all passengers to the U.S. itself have had to do for a while). If they find against you, you're not getting on the plane, even though you're not going to the U.S. The Independent (UK quality newspaper) has the story."

Countries yes, but states no. For New Jersey, it is free to enter across the bridge. But you need to pay to leave.

Australia already does this -- you have to clear immigration to leave. They make you fill out a card specifying who you are, if you're coming back, when, where you're staying overseas and so forth.
Australia was a prison colony.

As a New Jerseyan, I can definitely say they're charging you to leave. They make way more money that way.

American tourism is bombing, tourist industries are crashing, income is burning out and management are exploding.
I think you've overloaded the entire NSA internet monitoring apparatus with one single post. Good job!
