But even I don't like to visit the US anymore, you get fingerprinted, your eyes are being scanned, and now you have to fill out long forms in advance. Makes you feel like a criminal being booked at a police station.
Happy New Year right back at you -- though the big festivities here are for Lunar New Year.

I know that you're not from the US, but this is very ignorant. Can you tell me one aspect of the Patriot act that has impacted American freedom? You might be right about the freedom, however: What do you think about state health insurance and other regulations or the Patriot act?
I think religious groups have impacted media since about 1776. Freedom isn't just looking at dirty pictures.
