        <link><![CDATA[http://www.techrepublic.com/forum/discussions/102-262608-2491537]]></link>
        <description><![CDATA[That's an oxymoron.Airport seuriy in Vancouver, consists of foreign men and women, approx.16 -60, mainly Phillipino and East Indian. Absolutely NO actual security training at all, they sit in the customs area and read a book.  When a problem aries they simply call the RCMP in the terminal. The RCMP will turn up and tazer you repeatedly, no questions asked. They are just eyes, when not reading a book. For a hair over minimum wage, about $9.00/hr what do you expect? But as far as terrorists are concerned, while they many come to the US THROUGH Canada, it is US agents that allow them to enter the USA, not Canadians. So we just need the ability to read them a story while they wait I guess. &quot;Now just sit there Mr. Hussein while I read you the story about Johnny's trip to the candy parlour.  Now be nice or I'll have to hit you with my book until the RCMP tazer you to death!&quot;]]></description>

        <link><![CDATA[http://www.techrepublic.com/forum/discussions/102-262608-2491129]]></link>
        <description><![CDATA[I read some of the posts on the issue and in my opinion this ability of agents to download and confiscate information and devices will be a killer to US tourism industry for one, secondly it might mean for the US that your guys will have to travel elsewere if you want to do business with other countries. I do understand the need of security and law inforcement, but what about freedom?Are we talking about freedom from being freed of your rights here?All I can say is good luck, and God speed and all that.I hope you'll get the situation under some control. When I'll cross US border in the future, I'll make sure not give any possibility to either confiscate anything, nor download any information, as information will stay at home. For business however there will be no going to US, because there are possibilities of doing business with other countries, that do not impose such information control upon others.Finally to answer my view upon question asked by TiggerTwo, above...You are lightyears beyond just controlling information at this stage.Sorry guys, but the free US resembles actually a police state.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[My first assignment to Germany was to Bremerhaven, on the North Sea coast; the AF flew me into Hamburg.  At that time, Hamburg had no jetways, so we walked down the stairs onto a bus that took us to the terminal.  I walked into the terminal and came face-to-face with a semi-circle of about 8 German border guards, each one with an Uzi at &quot;port arms.&quot;  They didn't give me a second glance, but the third man behind me got ALL their attention.  I seriously doubt those Uzis were empty.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Brown people, assuming that you must be a &quot;brown person&quot; are all the same, they are all terorists.  This is due to ignorance, of our government, our people and our media.I can tell the difference between a caucasian from Quebec and one from BC, but for some reason, we are taught that all brown people are the same.  Ignorance.I have travelled all over the world, the most incompetent and yet most clueless, have been US airport and border agents.  I have yet to sight a more incapable and unaware group of people to date. As for being guilty until proven innocent, you obviously have not had any similar problems in the pst, that's the way it has always been, whether at the borders or in the courtrooms.]]></description>

This is security 101, why would it be a daunting issue in 2008?   Any company stupid enough to allow &quot;sensitive corporate data&quot; to be toted around to trade shows, conventions, sales trips, etc. deserves to have their data placed on a free, public website.  The airport is the least of your worries, you have a much greater likelihood of a competitor or customer stealing it from you.]]></description>
