I guess that makes sense. That's why I have to go through fucking stupid private background check agencies for everything in the UK.
Do you think only 39% of Americans because the other 61% are all terrified of their government? Or might it be because international travel is a luxury not everyone can afford?

That "U.S. Government" collecting, indexing and analyzing all data of any citizen must be an entirely different entity from the "United States Government" after all.
