I just looked it up on the net and now I'm even more convinced that the US "authorities" are living in la-la land. Here is another interesting article about homeland security gone mad... http://www.guardian.co.uk/usa/story/0,12271,1231089,00.html -- Derek Parnell Melbourne, Australia

If 3 planes flew into downtown Sydney and killed innocent people let's just see how "la-la" the Australian government would get! We live in a different world today and Stevens (or whatever his new name is) and the lady in the article quoted (who didn't follow our guidelines and therefore came into this country illegally) will just have to GET OVER IT! WE decide who comes into this country. Just as Australia, England, France, Russia, etc. decides who comes into their countries. There, I feel better.... Jonas Temple http://www.yhti.net/~jktemple
