Oh, I don't know. I don't see a problem with that. Civil liberties and "Inalienable Human Rights" are significantly different. Those checks are to protect the citizens of this country. If you don't like it: a) don't visit the US b) become a citizen of the US It's not like it's a huge imposition. And the cost/benefit ratio is good. I respect your opinion, Roger, and appreciate your posts. I just don't agree with this one. Keep posting though. If I agree or not, it's always interesting to read what you have to say.
