As if the black-clad airport guards with M-16 assault rifles were'nt unnerving enough, now they've started fingerprinting everyone and they have plans for retinal scans, voice pattern recordings, walking gait analysis and hand-dimension measurements.
No more Land of the Free for me, if i need a vacation I'm going to Peterborough. :p

Okay check out the club district in TO the friday of Caribanna. Before 911 already they were walking down the streets with automatic weapons in Canada.

You can't go to a football game in italy without seeing automatic weapons. The superbowl will have automatic weapons.

Hell I argue that carletons frosh week could hav used automatic weapons back when I went through it...

My friends went to NYC for New Years also.
They never noticed any police officers armed though.
They said it was just too crowded and they didn't even see the ball dropping bc there was too many people.

The funny thing is, in these times, that's not actually to far-fetched. I'm not a UofT waterboy on the weekends because I have a love of the sport.

You're just talking about street cops with standard handguns, right? Cause I haven't seen any heavily armed police in Toronto yet.. (I guess they're just around the corner though :( )

So what do people think about this? Will travellers stop going to the states in noticable numbers or will people get used to 'the new norm'?

Well I used to go a lot to visit my family down there, but I really don't feel like doing it now.

Almost all of my relatives have been asked to take off their shoes before passing through security.

So, I'm probably not going to visit unless there's a wedding or funeral or something.

We usually take turns anyway, so it's now their turn to visit me (for a long, long time). :)

I don't care... I can understand the security and all. I laugh at the whole thing, not because it's a funny situation, but I just try to make the time go as pleasant as I can for me...

When I was coming back from Vegas, I was wearing a Parasuco shit which had belts on the shoulders (a design thing). The lady told me that I might have to take the shirt off so they can scan it...
I laughted and I said "su"re, I don't care if I am naked, I was thinking I would give a heart attack to those old security officers...
