Yeah, you really can’t outsmart those with physical power and authority over you. Americans have asked for, or tacitly accepted this treatment of their visitors. The only big-picture solution is to stop visiting.

Our citizens as well!

The issue is that once you are a person of interest with a real id, you become a target.

The way to outsmart them is to stay maximally anonymous.

You forgot a word.

  • Nobody forgot a word. "Some" is nowhere near an appropriate word to use in that sentence. All Americans share the blame in what is happening right now. All.

    • This comment is self-caricaturing in its complete absence of logic and unseriousness.

      Are all men rapists too?

  • I hope to meet one some day.

    • Unlikely, because of your priors; you already think we are odious so it isn't like you are looking for the best in (or of) us, and second why would they want to meet you if you assume the worst of them? I don't support this Administration's behavior, but I'd rather meet an American who did and have a discussion with them about it than try to convince some dude who already decided I was an asshole, based on the country I'm from.
