Hi:  An understatement, for sure.  I don't think it was a week ago, in 
England, with regard to their security measures discussion, it was something 
like, and I paraphrase, we are passing security measures necessary to fight 
terrorism, and, oh, yes, this law will also be used to control the football 
hooligans.   Unbelievable, but true.  If I recall, it was a measure that 
altered how passport holders would be treated.  Yes, you should know, my 
source was the infamous The Register.   Thanks, Tom
