“Until a century ago, almost anywhere you went in the world, passports were not required for international travel. Rare passports were used mainly to insure passage of diplomats sent to negotiate peace treaties or carry official papers.  Now governments use passports as another part of citizen control and surveillance. Official passport control marked the Cold War years, but now it is applied with a bureaucratic, computer-driven vengeance, justified by the endless ‘War on Terror.’  I often get questions about the possibility of currency and capital controls, but thinking Americans should be equally concerned about foreign travel controls.”
