Numeric or biometric?

Well .... an italian colleague of mine went to a conference in Chicago started from October 27th ... So I will ask how it happened for him when he will come back.
For sure, he could go "inside" the USA ...
Stay tuned ... I will ask him and come back herein some days

This is a major concern to us as since 2001 we have decided not to travel to (nor fly through) the US as long as we do not have Canadian passports. I just don't like the idea of the mugshot and fingerprints, and the administrivia can quickly become a nightmare when travelling with young children.

I know other people who will *not* take flights that connect in the US just to avoid the hassle and delays incurred by the paranoid safety checks.

There are also plans in the near future to require Canadian *AND* US citizen to show a passport when entering the USA. I wonder to what extent this will affect tourism and trade between the two countries.

It's exactly my position... but I regret it because my cousin in Atlanta will soon have a baby. I'd like to visit her...
