Securing Cross-Border Travel

In 2004, congress passed a law that says all travelers crossing the Canadian border must have a passport. With the start-date for that plan around the corner, New Hampshire's tourism industry is getting worried. Tonight on the Front Porch, we'll find out what kind of effect the law could have on the state's economy, and what kind of technology could be used to keep cross-border traffic flowing as smoothly as possible.

We'll talk with:

Senator John E. Sununu, who recently called a special congressional hearing to explore this issue

Michael Donovan, owner of Visit Canada and other tourism businesses based in Portsmouth, New Hampshire

Robert Atkinson, President of the Information Technology & Innovation Foundation
