“Britain is not alone in using the passport system as a method of attacking those who for one reason or another are deemed ‘enemies of the state’ – or potential enemies. The US is doing its best as well. One English-speaking country that already routinely confiscates or suspends passport Is Australia. It is hard to remember that this modern quasi-comprehensive passport system is basically less than 100 years old. In the 1800s, it was often considered unusual and sometimes even insulting to have to identify oneself with officially issued documents when traveling privately. All that changed before World War II with the introduction of Interpol and the passport system.”
