No more than you were. Your point was that people can be deceitful at a border to travel. That is true any place and it does not mean that one does not legally require permission.
@ cpx
Please pin down the part where I need permission to travel in that link.
Forget the link, if you, by choosing to travel, submit your information and the government checks it before allowing you to leave, you do indeed need permission to travel. That's just logic and no amount of rhetoric can change that.
