Is anything being done in any jurisdiction (Federal) to challenge IML?

Last I heard the ASCOL  suit in US District Court in California decided that the State Department did not issue improper regulations regarding the International Megan’s Law even though the scope of the regulations exceeded that law. In doing so, the court relied upon another myth – that individuals convicted of a sex offense involving a minor are likely to engage in child sex tourism or child sex trafficking.

Now that so many travelers are being substantially harmed by the &quot;identifier&quot; in their passport, and in many instances, passports being revoked, isn&#039;t this the time for a full frontal attack on this pernicious law?]]></description>

Let the professionals that work with the Megans law registrants do their job. The population of registrants that have lived in society (jails without walls) are not getting a chance to live their life by way of over regulations. when a crime and punishment are completed why must the registrant continue to be micromanaged and punished. The International law is a high paid babysitting service that impedes the pleasure of travel and family trips. Micro management of this population is getting to be criminal in its own right.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The real purpose of the IML is not to prevent child sex trafficking and sex tourism in what Representative Chris Smith claims because that task would be impossible to accomplish and the people that are doing these things are usually criminals from other countries that have not been caught, prosecuted and do these things on rare occasion. The real purpose of the IML is to ban registrants from international travel because they&#039;re deemed by the media as &quot;high risk offenders&quot; and when they do the mandatory 21 day notice with the authorities, it gets them in the system for the feds to automatically take action of send alert notices out to destinations without letting registrants know what will happen when they arrive and are usually turned away and sent back home, and even if a country allows registrants in, that could change at anytime. They make it seem like they&#039;re fighting crime globally with cooperation from many foreign government agencies around the world and expect to believe the IML will put the end of sex trafficking and sex tourism through advance notifications and new passport which will never work.]]></description>

Oh the number of the beast - 666 - Great Iron Maiden song but that&#039;s about it - nothing mystic or supernatural here.

This is just government controlling their populations 101. The technology has just allowed great abuse than ever before.

Fun times ahead...I am glad I lived the vast majority of life (and the best years) without this invasive bullshit!]]></description>

I had exactly the same thing happen going to Costa Rica even though had been many times before. They said fix the issue with USA and come back. Due to a Medical issue and change of plans last minute I did go back and suprise no problems. This is clearly the issue of the advanced notice. Don’t forget Argentina no longer allows Felons entry but I believe you are fine without the notice. You could always try a different country first that way you won’t have to fly back so far. Ferry or land crossing is available to BuenosAires]]></description>
