So, you would see the IP address of the relay and whatever city that relay is in, but not the actual city or IP address of the person who tagged you.

For the record, I'm *not* in Chicago and I am most assuredly not using IE 7 on Vista. ;-) And now that I’ve changed my browser’s user agent, you’ll note that the only thing in common with my previous post is the IP address.

AFAIK, passports have been required for Canadians travelling into the US by air and sea for several years now. It's just the land crossings which (so far) have been exempt. There's been some talk in Canada of trying to find some sort of ID (short of a passport) that would be acceptable to the US, but I honestly can't see that happening. The frustrating thing, of course, is that organized crime will not be phased by the new restrictions. This approach to security is more than just a waste of time. It's potentially deadly, since it diverts time and money on a useless scheme while lulling the sheeple with the appearance of security. Bruce Schneier has a lot of good things to say about security on his blog. I’d be interested to know how this shows up.
