Charles Stross On Travelling To The USA

Just go read this diary entry from science fiction author Charles Stross on why he won't be visiting the US much anymore after this week's ArmadilloCon in Austin - then ask yourself what the hell your country is becoming.

visiting the USA, or even flying on a route that crosses through US airspace, will become a profoundly uninviting experience -- much like flying into the Soviet Union during the early 1980s. There'll have to be a pressing purpose at stake before I'll risk endangering myself in that way, by putting myself beyond the legal protections offered by the courts to any law abiding person.

Oh, and congratulations on the Hugo Award, Charlie!
