I have a passport. I would prefer it was unrelated to anything except international travel. > I think the issue isn't so much the government having control (all governments in all countries have such control and the sky doesn't fall in) but rather the nature of the government the citizens of the US permit. Well, yes, of course. We aren't talking about the government of France or South Korea, we are talking about the US Federal government.
