CBS is
reporting that
Senate Bill 1813 would "suspend passport rights for delinquent taxpayers" passed the Senate 74-22 on March 14th.
A bill authored by a Southland lawmaker that could potentially allow the federal government to prevent any Americans who owe back taxes from traveling outside the U.S. is one step closer to becoming law.
...The 'Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act' or 'MAP-21' includes a provision that would allow for the 'revocation or denial' of a passport for anyone with 'certain unpaid taxes' or 'tax delinquencies'.

SLOB blog Left Coast Rebel reported on April 6th in a post entitled
SB1813: More Totalitarian Nonsense from Congress with links to more articles. LCR Reports:
Once we give the feds power to revoke a passport because of "unpaid taxes" the floodgate is open to additional infringements (i.e. making sure that you never leave this country).
It's just another step on the slippery slope to a dark, dark place in this country. If only they were this serious about protecting our own borders and stopping the flow of criminals, drugs and illegal aliens into this country.

...wouldn't it make more sense to make it so you can post warrants for the arrest of folks who havem't paid taxes? Same result, without the scary aspect.
Best deals for London City Airport parking got me a pretty decent and nearest palace to the terminal…Online booking is straightforward and easy to use. When I did talk to customer service they were professional and helpful.
