"October 26, 2006

Forget no-fly lists. If Uncle Sam gets its way, beginning on Jan. 14,
2007, we'll all be on no-fly lists, unless the government gives us
permission to leave-or re-enter-the United States.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (HSA) has proposed that all
airlines, cruise lines-even fishing boats-be required to obtain
clearance for each passenger they propose taking into or out of the
United States.

It doesn't matter if you have a U.S. Passport - a "travel document"
that now, absent a court order to the contrary, gives you a virtually
unqualified right to enter or leave the United States, any time you
want. When the DHS system comes into effect next January, if the
agency says "no" to a clearance request, or doesn't answer the
request at all, you won't be permitted to enter-or leave-the United
States."

Does anyone know anything else about this or are we really joining the ranks of Saddam's Iraq, the Nazis and the Soviets?

1. What, if anything, am I doing wrong.

Went to the link and copied and pasted the docket number into the proper field in the advanced search option hit the submit and received a no results response.

Has this proposed regulation been withdrawn?

2. link, and it doesn't seem to say exactly that...

Maybe it's in the fine print.
