One little know crazier example of how things linger around for decades is how the H1B program actually allowed for renewals of visa stamps within the US.

After 9/11 the only reason people were made to go to another country to do it is because the US State department wanted people 10 printed and face scanned at places that had the equipment to do them: the embassies outside the US.

Now all airlines are basically human cattle-herding boxes at 35K feet for the metaphorical H1B cows.
