[Air-l] AoIR conference venues

[peter jakubowicz]

I fully concur with Dr. Wu. Why is it that every
person on the planet (except Canadians and Mexicans
who are not crooks) has to be fingerprinted by the
FBI? Is it because Canadians and Mexicans are more
honest? Or, is it because these two countries border
the U.S. of A. and are no threat whatsoever? In light
of this, I think the AoIR conference should be held
anywhere but the US.
