But that's just silly, given that you can easily leave the country by walking across the border. Even if they implement this for every international plane departure, the data will still be massively incomplete.
- cpncrunch 10y ago>you can easily leave the country by walking across the border which is of course illegal...
- a3n 10y agoWalk up to the checkpoint, do the security thing, and keep walking. Easy peasy.
- cpncrunch 10y agoOf course, but the parent comment didn't say that. If they're going to implement this, obviously they're going to implement it at every border crossing for it to be of any use whatsoever...
- a3n 10y agoThe parent comment also didn't not say that. You could as easily say, being exactly non-specific as that comment, that it's illegal to fly across the border. Because it is, if you don't go through procedures on both ends.
- tsaoutourpants 10y agoI don't know where you got the idea that it is illegal to leave the country on foot, but you are mistaken.

- waterphone 10y agoThere are vehicle and foot ports of entry all along the border, where legal passage between countries can be done.
- pdabbadabba 10y agoDon't get me wrong: I don't support this. But I believe the fact that "you can easily leave the country by walking across the border" is also something the current administration would like to "correct." I can imagine this technology being installed at land crossings as well.
