Travel Question
Rick White
placed on some travellers who are only passing through on their way to
somewhere else. I know, for example, that Japan is exempt from the new
rules, and I imagine (but haven't been able to find it on the web) that
Canada is also exempt. What I'm wondering is, would a Canadian flying out of
Narita and stopping in New York only long enough to catch a connecting
flight to Canada run into a problem. I know I can call the airline or my
embassy in the morning, but we're supposed to leave next Monday, and this is
driving me crazy (images of my Japanese wife and our baby flying to Canada
while I rot in an American jail for blowing my top.....yikes!!).
Any info or links would be appreciated.

If you were rotting in an American jail, you would at least have quicker
access to health care than you would in Canada.

From 1973 to 2002, the warmongering USA sold $200 million in arms to
Iraq, accounting for 1% of Iraqi arms imports for that period. During
the same period, peace-loving UN Security Council members Russia,
France, and China sold $25.145 billion (57%), $5.595 billion (13%), and
$5.192 billion (12%) in arms to Iraq, respectively. Source: Stockholm

Never mind that, how did you manage to reply to Rick's message 3 minutes
before he actually posted it?

"As I write, highly civilized human beings are flying overhead, trying
to kill me. They do not feel any enmity against me as an individual, nor
I against them. They are "only doing their duty", as the saying goes.
Most of them, I have no doubt, are kind-hearted law-abiding men who
would never dream of committing murder in private life. On the other
hand, if one of them succeeds in blowing me to pieces with a well-placed
bomb, he will never sleep any the worse for it. He is serving his
country, which has the power to absolve him from evil" - George Orwell,
England Your England, 1941

I wondered about that, too. The internal clock on my pc is set a few minutes
fast, but I'm not sure if that's relevant (i.e. is the time determined by
the server or the sender?).

The sender, methinks. But then again I'm slightly more drunk than I was
this afternoon. Might be better to ask Brett or someone who understands
this not usenet thingee better than I ever will.
Re your original question - provided your plane reaches NYC on time, you
shouldn't have any problem with connection due to nationality.

I don't know anything about usenet, or this version of not usenet which
we're using now, but my computer clock is about 20 minutes fast and
answering others' posts before their posted is something I do all the
time.

Don't ask me. The times on my machine are totally screwed.
