Bush imposes air "security" rules on Canada

Even as Bush eyes the 'O' keys of White House computers with his flathead screwdriver, he still hasn't stopped crapping his pants.

Now the Decider's Transportation Security Administration is going ahead with new rules that would disrupt the privacy and movement of not just U.S. citizens but Canadians as well. The TSA has decreed that Canadian travelers flying abroad from Canadian airports must provide all their personal info - even if the flight never touches down in the U.S.

This is supposed to boost America's security how?

Why does Canada tolerate this imposition? I know the Harper administration isn't exactly known for standing up against Bush, but come on!

Roch Tasse of the International Civil Liberties Monitoring Group put it succinctly: "It's the United States having control over which Canadians are allowed to board a plane or not." Last year, the Bush regime pressured Canada into creating its own no-fly list (which is like a Bushist Bible), so this imperialism isn't entirely new.

Obama's going to have his work cut out for him cleaning up Bush's mess. Now you know what he meant when he said he'd have to prioritize.
