Ok.
1) Pet peeve: I hate when people post a new topic but can't be bothered to actually write anything except to link to something.
2) I totally thought this was about the tennis player. :p I guess she's had enough trouble!

What is to say? As long as he doesn't show up on a boat with fifty other non citizens they will pretty much let him in.

Well, first off, you could mention why you're talking about it. Is it just an FYI, or do you want to discuss the news? Do you have an opinion on it yourself or are you just linking random articles?
Secondly, it would be pretty courteous to actually explain what the topic is about, and then link to the article in case people want to read more. I don't follow random links while at work, so the OP literally only say 'You read it right'. That's pretty nonsensical.
Thirdly, it's a pet peeve so I reserve the right to be entirely irrational about it. :)
Last I heard, Australia is not an enemy nation of the United States. It would be called emmigration, not defection.You can't leave the US with a memory stick...
That's an, um, imaginative assertion. Someone evidently forgot to mention that to the nice people at the airport the last time I was there. Was I supposed to be stopped at the airport before I actually left the country? Or was I supposed to be stopped before I got on the plane at my first leg of the trip?
Here's some information for you. It's not physically possible to stop people from leaving the US with a memory stick. Most US airports do not have a designated "international travel" zone for any sort of leaving-the-country customs search. If you're leaving the US on a foreign passport, the immigration details (such as they are) are handled at the initial check-in by the same clerk who weighs your baggage and hands you the boarding pass for seat 16C. The TSA security checks don't distinguish between foreign and domestic travel; as far as the X-ray machines are concerned, you could carry a box of memory sticks unless you also put a grenade in that box.
(A lot of other countries handle it differently. My most recent trip, to Mexico, for example, required that I clear "immigration" both upon entry and upon exit, although the "exit" was basically a line-up-and-hand-in-the-other-half-of-your-entry-form procedure. For as hard as it is to get into the United States, leaving it is nothing.)
I routinely have a dozen or more memory sticks with me when I travel internationally. They cause less interest than my shoes do.
um...I don't get the point....oh wait it is Yellowdingo....there is no point.
Who?

Assuming this isn't sarcasm, Woz is/was the technical genius behind the original Apple computers. As opposed to Jobs, who was the business and marketing genius.
