This seems to be more symbolic, since he still is able to travel, but I would expect a very different symbol from the US: I want that you delete all the data you have collected about me and I want an official apology for all the spying. Furthermore I want you to stop the distinction between US citicens and citizens of other countries when it comes to human rights. How do you justify that? Of course I expect the same from every other government with similar behavior. Let's start the 21. century now.
- pekk 13y agoDo you travel in Europe? I am pretty sure there are a few intelligence and domestic security operations there as well. You seem to be demanding a stop to all of them (but selectively the US, as if you don't believe anyone else is doing them).

- jakobe 13y agoI just landed in Madrid, coming from Vienna. It was an international flight, but since it was within the EU, I didn't have to show my ID once. I bought my ticket online, I checked in online. At the security checkpoint, I showed my boarding pass on the phone. When boarding the plane, they scanned the boarding pass on my phone. I could have just given my phone to someone else to travel. There's a lot less surveillance of travellers in the EU compared to the US.
- devcpp 13y agoThat's not a fair comparison when Maastricht lets you go freely anywhere in Europe.
- jakobe 13y agoWhy is it not a fair comparison? Someone claimed travellers in the EU were subject to similar surveillance as in the US. As far as I understand, you need to show an ID even for domestic flights in the US.
