A passport is really not difficult to get, but it can be time consuming. However, you can put a rush on it if you are willing to pay a few shekels more.

And this must be new because I have never heard of this. But considering how closely people are watching the borders now, it must be part of the new security efforts.

wow.

I've gone running around canada and mexico in the past without taking so much as a driver's license!

requiring passports at this level is more than kind of bogus.

Well, some of the hijackers DID sneak over from Canada. Although, they were on the 'do not let into the country list' anyway. I'm so confused.

"border security"

that's part of why I'm annoyed. I'm having a certain basic freedom to move about that I've ahd all my liafe taken away for no good reason. We've spent insane, obscene, and unbelievable amounts of money trying to lock down the border I grew up near (mexico) and it's never managed to keep most of the poor, undereducated, non-resource-enabled illegals out (good thing, IMO. I hate immigration control).

why do They (the people demanding I get a passport to get into my own freaking nation) think they are going to do any better with hypothetical, or real, terrorists who have so much more going for them than my wetback neighbors and classmates did?

Doesn't make sense, much.
