An excellent round up artcile by Gretchen at Xbiz on the 2257 seminar.

I'm so happy she added this quote:

"If we panic and if people are fearful, then just like the effect the terrorists had, we stopped traveling," said Piccionelli. "The people in government are using this [proposed regulation] as a way to screw us."

I have to say I did expect far more buzzing about 2257 than there actually was. Many were waiting to hear what the seminar panel had to say. Those I did have lengthy conversations with are on one side or the other. Some are playing the wait and see card while others are on the direct opposite by strcitly complying... some have begun plans to leave the country completely (while some of us have joked about it, others are actually doing it).

I knw, personally, I am on the wait and see side but at the same time I want to be as ready as possible... just in case.

My best,
