"Somewhere along the way, in the process of trying to develop a foolproof system of protecting itself against genuine threats, the US has lost the ability to distinguish between friend and foe. The price this powerful country is paying for living in fear is the price of its civil liberties."

The above is a line from an amazingly interesting article in the London Guardian. The article is the first hand experience of Elena Lappin as she tried to enter America as a journalist.
