Kakfa, meet Orwell.
Reading this story, my initial thought is - is there more to it? If indeed the US Border Agency does this, then why have we not heard more stories about this? And if this is the first case, then the future is very very scary.

- astrodust 13y agoMaybe we need a crowd-funded effort to re-write novels like 1984 to make them more believable, and by that I mean far more terrifying.

If ever there was a story where "see attached" was appropriate, this is it.
