43. When I was in high school, I was taught that the U.S., unlike the USSR

had freedom of travel. We are becoming more and more like the USSR, a totalitarian state. Why? Why would anyone want to go to the trouble of controlling the travel of folks like me? I don't get it. I've never hurt anyone in my life. I just don't understand this at all. And what is this going to do the the travel industry? It is a long way, but I have the choice of driving, taking a train or flying in a plane to visit my kids. If I have to go to all this trouble, I might as well just take a train or drive. We are already showing our drivers' licenses. Isn't that enough?
