New ID rules begin June 1 for Mexico, Canada trips
BLAINE, Wash. – New rules requiring passports or new high-tech documents to cross the United States' northern and southern borders are taking effect Monday, as some rue the tightening of security and others hail it as long overdue.
The rules are being implemented nearly eight years after the Sept. 11 attacks and long after the 9/11 Commission recommended the changes. They were delayed by complaints from state officials who worried the restrictions would hinder the flow of people and commerce and affect border towns dependent on international crossings.
In 2001 a driver's license and an oral declaration of citizenship were enough to cross the Canadian and Mexican borders; Monday's changes are the last step in a gradual ratcheting up of the rules. Now thousands of Americans are preparing by applying for passports or obtaining special driver's licenses that can also be used to cross the border.

Можно представить какие суммы идут на эти все "новшества" В конце марта, когда возвращался, в чикагском аэропорту "в окошке" смотрел в маленькую типа видеокамеру сначала одним глазом, потом другим, после нажимал на экранчик большим и указательным пальцем.Год назад такого не было,тоесть было (с пальцами) для новоприбывших, читал что сейчас разрабатывают беду, которая у всех пересекающих границу будет сканировать коленную чашечку, вроде она у всех разная.
