Wake Up from Your Slumber
Basically, the USA Department of Homeland Security (or HSA for short) is making attempts for the American Congress to pass legislation of laws that will require that ALL airlines and cruise lines be requested to obtain clearance for each and every passenger moving in and out from USA.
To put in simple words, let's say that law is passed. What happens next? Every USA native and citizen that wants to go in and out from US America will have to first obtain a clearance to travel. However, the catch is if the agency says "NO" to said request or fails to answer it, then the people would be allocated into the 'NO Fly' list, thus being barred by Uncle Sam either to enter or leave the country.
If said law is passed, it will take effect starting January 14th, 2007.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!! (**This is sarcasm**)
