I've now thought about Forced Access some: It seems to me that Forced 
Access into a major power is an act of war, and should have to be 
recognized as such. So I'm definitely against that part of Forced Access.

As for Forced Access to minors: I understand the motivation, but it departs 
radically from existing practice. E.g., it would no longer be possible to 
hide from an enemy in a minor belonging to to a noncombatant. But that's 
something we've seen a lot of in this game.

My vote is no on Forced Access, though I wouldn't object to it if used from 
the start of a game.
