No, but the US government is apparently now allowed to arrest and
extradite a child from the UK without having to show a judge good cause -
which is *not* true in reverse, or for any other country.  Up until
recently, the US authorities would have had to make a case for extradition
and/or arrest to a UK judge before the local plod would even be informed
that there was an interest in the kid....
Yes, its a worrying development. No, it isn't particularly evil (just more
evidence the american government thinks their laws should apply worldwide)
or even marginally on-topic for Nanog.
