The UK has now issued a travel warning for the US: possible arrest or detention for failing to meet entry requirements.

This now includes having ant-Trump messages on your phone or computer, which apparently now constitute terrorism.

If I had a holiday booked to the US, I'd be cancelling it right about now.

There are a lot countries, some of them places people on here go to, where repercussions for having messages against their leaders will have you in a lot more bother. https://theworld.org/stories/2016/0...s-will-punish-you-insulting-their-heads-state

On average 9,000 brits arrive in the USA every single day, then think of how many other countries people will be arriving on top of that. Anyone thinking the border force will be checking all those peoples phones, computers and social media posts to find those who said nasty things about Trump must be living in cloud cuckoo land.

Those with TDS will think they will.
 
Watched the cockey guy on YouTube who was stopped at customs his passport wouldn’t scan at the auto scanner . Had to go the an officer who checked it out then read the screen for a minute or two . Then sent him to sit in a waiting room and after 5 mins said he can go . He asked what she was reading but she wouldn’t tell him . He posts a lot of political stuff some won’t mind , some won’t like , but if he is honest, this country has now got ‘lists’ to check against of people the ‘govt’ don’t ‘like ‘ . Think Katie Hopkins had this too .

AI does that **** for them.

…that’ll save me from having to book another US holiday for 4 years (and I usually go quite regularly)

Back from my snowboarding holiday in Austria tomorrow night
More Yanks here than I’ve ever seen
Not sure what that says (apart from Yank snow resort prices going through the roof last couple of years)

Yup it’s cheaper to fly to Europe and ski for a week rather than pay the ski lift prices and al associated costs etc in places like Colorado. Seriously. Apres ski is much much better as well, let’s face it the apres ski in the US is rubbish in comparison, Canada better than the US. Just had that conversation this week with someone who skis a lot on both sides of the pond. It’s funny he’s a good skier but the apres ski is so so important.

I agree with you. However, i got back from California on Friday.

When I renewed my ESTA one of the questions you are asked is to provide links to your social media accounts. I assume they have AI checking for extremist views.
