News: UK tourists entering the US
British travellers to the United States face the uncomfortable choice of handing over personal information, including social media passwords and mobile phone contacts, or running the risk of being denied entry to the country, under a new “extreme vetting” policy being considered by the Trump administration.
Tourists from the UK and other US allies including Germany and France, could be forced to reveal personal data, as well as disclose financial information and face detailed ideological questioning, according to Trump administration officials quoted by the Wall Street Journal. While US citizens have established rights against unlawful searches at the border, the extent to which foreign travellers can resist requests to hand over personal information is unclear.
The US customs and border patrol told the Guardian: “All international travellers arriving to the US are subject to US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) inspection. This inspection may include electronic devices such as computers, disks, drives, tapes, mobile phones and other communication devices, cameras, music and other media players and any other electronic or digital devices.
I wonder what this is going to do to the US tourist industry. Four million Brits travelled to the US in 2014, but I suspect that many will be discouraged by the possibility of having the contents of their mobile phones and tablets disclosed, including social media, bank accounts, contacts, photo albums etc.

For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires. Hebrews 4:12

Wow! I am sure glad we have omniscient politicians to take care of us. See, they know it is a gateway drug. (course I tell all my friends, no....alcohol and cigarettes are the gateway drugs). Love this.

I need more friends. I never realized how much of my social life involved only one person, and when we don't talk, it feels like I have no friends at all

I'm that person that manages to be selfish but can't love myself.
