    This is the same approach used by every totalitaian government since time began! Register all the people and their activities like cars and then search (unreasonable search) for whatever you desire to know. The Homeland Security outfit already is recording fingerprints and taking photos of people entering the country to establish a database on travelers. Now they want a database on domestic citizens as well (next thing you know they will want to tax tea!). Seems like we have been here before with George the Third. Now its happening again with our own George the Third! Congress should stop this abuse - particularly in an election year.

    George's reaction to Sept. 11 has led to a terrorist win by removal of our personal freedoms in the name of homeland security. Next thing you know we will have concentration camps for Arabs - or is that already happening in Cuba?
