And I thought the Austrian government had red tape

Although I am really not liking the Austrian government's bureaucracy (it's delaying my trip), it is nothing compared to the new US restrictions being implimented. I was watching the CTV news and they were talking about how all landed immigrants in Canada wanted to go visit the US, now have to be finger printed, and have their picture taken, they also have to be interviewed. Apparently some government officials wanted all people entering the states to go through that process, it's still not guaranteed that it won't change. For the time being Canadian citizens are exempt. By the end of next year all border crossing will have this finger printing stuff. This means longer delays at the border, which sucks because my dad's trucking company does moslty of cross border trade. But hopefully it will all get sorted out.
