The US is one of the few countries in the world who really opens things up the way we do. In Europe, you have to give your passport to the clerk when you stay in a hotel, you need to supply addresses and they check.

I remember years ago in Geneva Switzerland I stayed at a friends house. I didn't lock the door to his apartment and the cops came in, they check every door, every night (or they did).

Here we may be to carefree. It is one thing to be an open society with your citizens, quite another to give that freedom to non-citizens. On 911 we learned they aren't all here to see Hollywood and Disneyland!
