I don't discount what you say but I also do not think CZ should be the forum for such a discussion.

I don't know how many of you have visited and experienced the beauty that is Europe. In light of this tragedy and the problems that people in North America are experiencing in tracking down friends and loved ones who may be in Belgium, I think it's time to re-think the ease of travelling from country to country over there. It's easier to drive from France to Spain than it is to cross the Peace Bridge from Ontario to Buffalo-in other words, it like driving from Ottawa to Hull, Quebec. With the advent of bar code passports, I would suggest that at the very least there should be checkpoints at borders where passports could be scanned. That way a country would know where its nationals are when outside the country. I know that this might be considered to be "infringing" on freedoms, but in this day and age, and given the fact that we have the tools at our disposal...

I hope I wasn't too political.
