Hi Kava,
I'm flying into LAX on the 25th of Feb. I checked with a friend of mine in the Border Patrol and another buddy in the FBI and they both felt that it was really a precautionary measure. I have also been told by a college prf friend that he believes it Bush's way of getting people to look the other way rather than discuss his "tax cut for the rich" proposal.
I'm still going. Hell I've come closer to dying on the roads here in NZ than I have ever been to any danger back home. Sorry, don't mean to be flippant, as it is a valid concern, but I hope you go.
