I dislike the fact that the government of the place I live would keep a file on me that I cannot see.

I further dislike that they would share this information with some other government. Some of this is no doubt census information, and who knows whether it might include private medical records.

I also dislike the idea that I should have to answer personal questions like that merely to enter a country. It is absolutely none of their business whether I am a foot fetishist or S&M freak (I'm neither). It's also none of their business who I voted for.

I have no problem with US immigration taking my fingerprint or scanning my retina, because, as was explained to me, it is used to tie me to the passport I was using, to stop someone else using it if it were stolen. Some of this other stuff is out of order.
