Re: [IRCA] passport if going to Canada

[LEE FRESHWATER <amlogbook@xxxxxxxxx>]

I checked with my wife on this issue. She happens to be a staff  assistant to US Congressman Cliff Stearns.  They passed a law  after 911 requiring ALL US
 Citizens to have a valid passport to get  back into the US. I never thought much about since I have had a  passport for years., Being a frequent fl yer, I use it even when  flying  with in the US. I think it gets me thru the airport line  faster.
  
 This was supposed to take effect 1/1/07 BUT like the  DTV rollout, they changed their minds......again.....  new date is  now  1/1/08 
  
  see  http://travel.state.gov/travel/cbpmc/cbpmc_2223.html
  
  Passports are so eay to get, I dont see why everyone doesnt have one.....
  
  
 BTW..... the only time I have been searched was in Halifax  by the Canadian side.....   while in HALIFAX, the   Maritime Museum, is a MUST SEE !!!!
  
  regards to all
