US Visitors May Have to Hand Over Social Media Passwords: DHS (nbcnews.com)

People who want to visit the United States could be asked to hand over their social-media passwords to officials as part of enhanced security checks, the country's top domestic security chief said. From a report on NBC: Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly told Congress on Tuesday the measure was one of several being considered to vet refugees and visa applicants from seven Muslim-majority countries. "We want to get on their social media, with passwords: What do you do, what do you say?" he told the House Homeland Security Committee. "If they don't want to cooperate then you don't come in."

    Exactly this Tepples, I was just coming here to post that...

    The outright ignorance of the far left on almost every topic these days, combined with their continuous manufactured out of proportion outrage is honestly ridiculous.

    NetworkBoy, you may want to educate yourself and/or get out of your echo chamber before posting on a topic like border searchers and visa vetting, which you apparently know nothing about.
