Welcome to Prison America

I almost missed my posting for today, but here it is, just before midnight.

I was reading the Daily Reckoning newsletter by Bill Bonner from December 23rd, and became angered at the story halfway through the letter titled "Coffee, Tea, or Handcuffs?" In this story, a journalist for an Australian women's magazine who was coming to the USA (again, after multiple earlier visits) for some interviews was effectively branded as a criminal upon touchdown at LA International Airport. Click on the link for the full story, but suffice it to say that this poor woman was treated reprehensibly. Perhaps she should have been turned away for not having the proper visa, but the treament she received was ridiculous. Is it true that we're now living in Prison America?
