Call for stricter checks on Americans - Politiken.dk
The Danish People's Party is calling for extra checks on ethnic non-Western Americans wishing to travel to Denmark.

The Danish People's and Social Liberal parties in Denmark are calling for increased checks on Americans wishing to travel to Denmark, including the introduction of visa requirements and pre-travel disclosures.

"We have had to admit that the Americans have not been as effective in their anti-terrorism efforts as we thought and that the threat against Denmark has grown," says Danish People's Party Justice Spokesman Peter Skaarup.

According to Visit Denmark almost 500,000 Americans visit the country each year. One of those who twice this year availed himself of easy entry into the country was a man recently arrested in Chicago on charges of conspiracy to carry out an attack on the Jyllands-Posten newspaper.

No need to be. =)

Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.

FWIW, I prefer the section you extracted because it includes the telling qualifier: "ethnic non-Western Americans".

Since the People's Party is the local far-right, only natural. But, I would be curious about a deeper insight (JakeS?), because I can't imagine that the Social Liberals had the same motivation.
