I dread that this will become standard when applying for visas elsewhere. It's already difficult enough.

Also, could this be another route for backdoor revocation of permanent residency and/or citizenship? For instance, you piss off the wrong person in government, they learn you failed to disclose your MySpace profile, revoke your visa for lying, then deport you? It's my understanding that some of the visa questions (e.g. have you committed war crimes) are there to enable precisely this kind of thing.
