US to tighten visa restrictions

The US is to tighten visa restrictions to allow it to screen all short-term visitors from Japan and Western Europe.
US Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said visitors to the US who do not need visas will be required to register with the government online. The security regulation, set to begin next year, will require visitors to register three days before they visit. The online registration will remain valid for a two-year period, Mr Chertoff said. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7434374.stm

My Comment:
Well the Bush administration is taking this homeland security too far. If other countries start restricting entry requirements for Americans in response to Homeland security changes, I wonder how people will feel.I personally prefer to travel free with my passport without hinderance or harrassment.
