I agree. Freedom of movement and capital has been a giant leap, and something no other region in the world has achieved. In the mean time if you travel within the US don't be surprised if you are stopped at a random DHS checkpoint.
- skywhopper 13y agoI'm not aware of such checkpoints in the US. Unless you count airports, but airport security is invasive and terrible everywhere in the world.

I agree that it is a giant leap, but disagree that no other region of the world has achieved this. India and China have larger populations than the EU. And, the USA has built itself on having decent freedom of movement between the 50 states, and has far fewer barriers to that movement. I take it that your comment refers to border patrol overreach and note that even Schengen (EU border agreement) allows border patrol up to 50km past the border.
