As the technology for regulating travel has evolved from passports
and rubber stamps to include retina scans and digital databases,
the bureaucratic structure of the American system for regulating
international travel has grown from a small office in Washington,
DC, to a highly sophisticated network spanning the globe. The U.S.
government now controls a web of surveillance---from extra frisks
at airport security to complete bans on travel by sea or air---with
the potential to snare almost anyone. These programs are top
secret, and the names on the No Fly List are classified. There is
no notice and no appeal. In tracing the history and scope of U.S.
travel regulations, Jeffrey Kahn begins with the fascinating story
of Mrs. Shipley, a federal employee who almost single-handedly
controlled access to passports during the Cold War. He questions
how far national security policies should go and whether the
government should be able to declare some individuals simply too
dangerous to travel. An expert on constitutional law, Kahn argues
that U.S. citizens' freedom to leave the country and return is a
fundamental right, protected by the Constitution.
