They need to take this one step further. Let them leave the country and then revoke their passport.


United States passports will start labeling child sex offenders, the Department of State announced Wednesday.

The State Department, which issues U.S. passports, will begin revoking passports of registered child sex offenders and updating them. Child sex offenders will be forced to apply for one that lists their “unique identifier” status, reported the New York Post. The Department of Homeland security will notify the State Department of the registered status of child sex offenders, thus initiating the status, reported the New York Times Friday.

“The bearer was convicted of a sex offense against a minor and is a covered sex offender pursuant to (US law),” the back cover of the passport will read. Smaller passport cards will no longer be issued to registered child sex offenders since there is not enough room to list the information.

The passports will not prevent registered sex offenders from “departing the United States nor the validity of their passports,” according to the State Department.

The State Department’s changes seek to eliminate child sex tourism. The response comes from the “International Megan’s Law” when Megan Kanka, 7, was murdered by a child sex offender in 1994 in New Jersey.

While I thoroughly agree with the idea, I suspect a Scarlet Letter will not pass the legal sniff test.

What about convicted drug dealers, weapons violations, or speeding tickets (prevents bad drivers from taking to foreign roads).

Just noting, why one and not rest, or why any at all? Where's the legality of it?

Yeah, this is going to get challenged. It’d be better to make loosing your passport a part of the conviction and deny the convicted a new one.

Or make the info available to other nations in a treaty of sorts where it is "private."

Meanwhile, the whackjobs in Commiefornia plan to remove up to 90% of the names off the sex offender registry. Why stop at 90%? Just go for 100% removal since that's their next step.

My wife advocates branding their forehead with a large "P".
