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."

I agree. This is very simple and very great. Bigly! If you won't show your facebook profile then you have something to hide (why wouldn't you if you didn't?). If you have something to hide you are guilty. Seems like good security and can't be abused at all. Finally, we're back to common sense small government!

Just make a fake account on FB and Twitter and hand over those details. Follow and like Trump on both accounts and you're done.
