Photo Pilot Certificates

However, you sound dangerous to me. Perhaps the government should make you
wear an ankle bracelet or something so that your movements can be tracked 24
hours a day. Maybe you should even be confined to your house.

I have said nothing at all about "thought control". I've been speaking strictly
about the enforcement of EXISTING US immigration laws. You are diverting from
the relevant subject and trying to make it sound as if I am FOR additional
"Big Brother" type security measures. If you will read my posts carefully you
will see that I am totally against having additional burdens placed upon
America citizens.... who's only crime appears to be that of being licensed
pilot post 9-11.

link it to the medical certificate.


Oh no....As if they don't already have enough "non-medical" related
ways to pull your medical. Now they'll be able to revoke you if
you're not photogenic enough!

Time for some plastic surgery to get ready for this one!

Actually, you need at least three shifts, so 500,000 soldiers just watching
the border. For every soldier on the front lines, you need at least seven
others in support, so three and a half million soldiers just to watch the
Canadian border. That still does not stop people coming through legitimate
checkpoints with falsified documents or whatever. Nor does it account for
aircraft or boats. Neither does it count up the cost of the enormously long
lines at the border while confiscate everybody's fingernail clippers.

You have succeeded in taking my original comments so completely out of context
that the discussion now bears no relevance to my original post.

I will quote two sentences from my original posts and would ask you to find
anything in them that would tend to indicate I was advocating what you say
above. Words in caps are emphasis I have added assist in comprehension of
the meaning of the sentences as they were written.

"I submit that a reasonable person would conclude that a good use of a
PERCENTAGE of US forces might be to ASISTS the Border Patrol monitor and
secure these borders to a greater extent than they are today."

"I believe that a legitimate use of our military forces (and their associated
technology) would be to HELP safeguard our borders."

The military has some exclusive technology capabilities which could be used
to assist the border patrol do their jobs. This same position has been advocated
by a number of congressman and senators. I happen to agree.

I don't have any opinion on who takes the photo. It's a
once-in-a-lifetime hassle. My FSDO is 60 miles away, reasonable trip
fo rme. I suppose it's different in Idaho?

If big brother would actually have his way, that trip to the FSDO to
get your picture taken might also turn into: Bring all your logbooks,
submit a blood sample, submit a hair sample, and please step into the
polygraph room before we can even permit you to step in front of the
camera.

Most of the 9/11 terrorists were here legally.

Yes, initially. but at least half of them were subsequently found
to be in violation of the terms of their Visas.

But with the INS not enforcing anything what did it matter?

not to long ago everybody was fighting the new FAA *foto* ID. Now it seems that
everybody is OK with this and we are only discussing the way it can be handled.

Exactly. We've all pretty much given in. Now we can get ready for the next round
of additional "security" measures. It seems Mr. Weiner already has some ideas.

The visa expired? The school is responsible for a) expelling the
student and b) immediately informing INS.

A visa allows one to enter the country. You do not have to leave when it
expires.
Once you're in the country, the INS tells you how long you can stay.

Further, a student visa doesn't expire as long as the student is enrolled
and making
progress towards their course of study. They've got 60 days after they
finish to
get out (or make other arrangements). So it's not that you can be
studying and have
a student visa expire, it's because you stop studying that the terms of
your entry under
that visa becomes invalid. It's actually the schools completion of the
"certificate of
eligibility" that lets you be in the country on the visa.

Yes, and I'm sure we can depend on all the university administrators in
Cambridge, Massachusetts, to duly notify John Ashcroft's Department of
Justice of every such event.

Best,

3) Here for tourist reasons? When I visit a foreign country, even the
hotel wants my passport. Why not here?

What do these hotels do for their own citizens? And how do you tell a
foreigner from a citizen in this country?

Actually, it's an anachronism. I haven't been asked for my passport of
late even at the borders (and sometimes not even then). The last time
I had to show my passport to a hotel was over 15 years ago and that was
in Japan.

True. But if Mr. Kontiki walks in the door, be sure to demand his passport.

OK, a visa expires. The INS is notified. They go out to the alien's last
known address and he has apparently moved and left no forwarding address.
Now what?

the local FAA designated examiner here in our area is an Austrian citizen. Do
you think this beeing a good idea having him making the fotos and clearing them?

Our state (California) governor is also from Austria.

THEY ARE TAKING OVER!
