| Message | Allowing unknown amount of possible terrorists or other persons who wish to cause harm would hurt all indrustries. In this day and age it is not enough to simply "confirm one's identity", with the possibility that someone could steal another person's identity. |

| Message | Perhaps the ULSF has never given thought to the idea that there isn't necessarily a link between foreigners and terrorism. The use of crime prevention as an excuse to tighten border controls is outrageously xenophobic. Terrorism is motivated by absurd ideas. It is only when people commit crimes that they are to be hunted down, tried and convicted. |
