Tax evasion is not freedom.Now they are even talking about taking passports away from people who are accused of owing taxes. I think that the USA has lost any moral authority to speak about "protecting freedom".
It is stealing from those who pay taxes.
Well - they took my fingerprints too.THEY TOOK MY FINGER PRINT
I don't see what's bad about this?
Anyway - I have never been stopped by police and asked to show my ID/Passport/whatever anywhere in the EU. (except driver's licence to cops that pulled me over)
Last year I visited Estonia, took my passport with me and no one asked me to show it.
I was not required to stop on the border too.
EU is actually reducing travel restrictions and control of its citizens.
