Personal information

Slav, Latvia: as far as I know, the information showed in the ticket like name, surname and date of birth is already available for the US government. I think it's enough to fight terrorism.

Mark, Sanford, Michigan, I don't care if the authorities access my past flight information, but financial transactions shouldn't be fair game unless there is a legitimate suspicion of wrongdoing.

Ed, Sierra Leone, the usa will aways misuse information to create a police state.

Mansour, Monrovia, It's further prove that the so call war on terror is counter productive.

Clement, South Africa, US has a right to defend its citizens and all passengers.

Lubna, Iraq, hi folks,if the US government wants to protect her citizens,then it has the right to know informations about travellers to US,but when that extends to include those travelling within EU,then that reflects a master and aservant relationship between US and EU.

Paul, This obsession with security in the USA will lead it into the totalitarian path. Perhaps non-USA travelers should boycott going to the USA.

Casey, Canada, if u have something to hide than dont travel!

Kim, Oregon, if I trusted our Government, I would have no problem with these security requirements.

Jude, Vancouver, I wouldn't trust the CIA to follow the laws in it's own country, much less overseas. The only way to roll back the powers that have been usurped by governments in the name of security is through the courts. I only hope that we see actual arrests and time served as a result of this incident, unlike previous situations

Greg, Alberta, Canada I believe that the US wants to know what meals you eat on a flight incase you may be eating a Kosher meal. Regardless what your name is they may feel that eating a Kosher meal constitutes a possible terrorist.

Steve, Arlington US, it's funny listening to people worried about their "privacy". Self important tripe. People need to get over themselves. Human life is more important than the name of your travel agency.

David, Sussex, I for one have nothing to hide but will not travel if my personal details are given as don't want to be at risk of identity theft or even part of a big brother state that America is becoming and trying to impose on the rest of the world.

Keith, Oregon, regarding collection & storage of data of passengers, etc. the problem comes down to a matter of TRUST. Thanks to the U.S. government's frequent deceptive and non-transparent policies and actions - especially - in the last 6 years, I think a vast number of people in the world no longer feel the U.S. can be trusted with most of their personal data. How different from a decade or two ago!

Robert, Berlin, I find it curious that Europeans - especially Germans - are afraid to give information to the US authorities when they live in societies which - in contrast to the US - demand that individuals carry ID cards, register with the local police (including stating your religion) and require this registration to get everything from a mobile phone, to a bank account or even an apartment.

Rodrigo, that should not be allowed. It is a violation of personal privacy. It is bad enough they do this with people in the US, but internationally? Fighting the War on terror intelligently should require better intelligence.

Susannah, I think that terrorists are smart enough not to use direct air travel into/ within the States to do dirty work. I am all for heightened security and information control, but I think that we need to enforce it on other transportation mechanisms--trains and buses going between Mexico and Canada etc.

Lindsay, Oregon, foreigners can't complain about us taking away their rights and freedoms , they are not citizens and if they don't' like our new safety measures they should butt out.

Dan, what if the information tracked foils a terrorist attack on a plane that your spouse and children are on. Would their positions change if they lost a spouse and their children? Would they feel regret about not wanting to share this information to prevent this loss?

Nick, Kabul Afghanistan, I'm a Candian soldier in Afghanistan. A few years ago, in 2002, I suddenly started to expierence serious trouble on the US border and kept getting turned back. The amount of personal information presented to me was staggering, including my army service number. The problem stemmed from a criminal record; which was incorrect. I asked how the US Customs & Border service obtained all this data and the US official replied that the Canadian Govt regularly sold the info of it's citizens!

Herouxville council rules

Constance, Washington DC, this is exactly why many of us who are not Muslims cannot fathom how a religion can be based, in part, on the torture and abuse of the female members of the religion and family. Nor how women continue to exist in that structure without seeking asylum from countries that believe they have rights independent of gender.

Paul, Vancouver, I hope the Quebec people will some day find the cultural confidence which would allow the to rise above such pettiness.

Paul, the proclamation is not necessary as most people come to North American come want to adopt the new culture anyway. I think that this so called "obvious" list of requirements is really a reflection of a "polite" racism that is alive and well in Canada.

Adam, Oregon, I think that that village's rules are ridiculous. It promotes stereotypes about Muslims AND about French Canadians.
