*	Do you seek to enter the United States to engage in export control
violations, subversive or terrorist activities, or any other unlawful
purpose? Are you a member or representative of a terrorist organization as
currently designated by the U.S. Secretary of State? Have you ever
participated in persecutions directed by the Nazi government of Germany; or
have you ever participated in genocide?  



Um, wow.  Anyone dumb enough to answer yes to this deserves whatever happens
to come to them.  Maybe if someone did, Jack Bauer wouldn't have to keep
dying/coming out of hiding to save the world.

US visa forms ask if you have been a member of the NAZI party or are
planning to overthrow the government. I wonder if anyone ever answers yes...

Many countries operate by different rules than us - something
you may be shocked to learn if you do any international travel.

In the last year while making plans to travel to Russia I ran across a
warning from the US state dept. recommending NOT to travel with
a GPS receiver.  The Russian government is still very paranoid about
their "secrets".  Anyone carrying a GPS could be considered a spy
trying to get an accurate location of whatever nearby sensitive
government facilities may exist - seen or unseen.  If you want another
example of their level of paranoia, take a look at their visa application.
It practicaly asks for your entire family, education, and work history,
and asks specifically what kind of military/weapons/nuclear engineering
skills you may have.

I'm sure this too will fall into history as more varieties of consumer
electronics devices are appearing with built-in GPS (cameras, cell phones).

All that being said, I believe satellite reception over most of Russia
should be excellent.  ;-)
