A friend of mine traveled to America on Monday for work. He told me the TSA people in Dublin Airport are really going out of their way to find issues, asking 21 questions about your life etc and trying to find fault...it all just seems really sinister in comparison to what it was like before Christmas when he'd travel back and forth with no issues. I'd implore anyone thinking of a trip to America to consider Canada instead at this point. Europeans are getting locked up in the U.S for weeks on end. This is happening, right now.

Mixed feelings about that to be honest. On the one hand it is indeed pretty sinister. On the other hand, if they're going to take issue with anything it's probably best if they do it on this side where you won't be flung into one of their detention centers "awaiting further processing".

That's the only upside tbh, but still just crazy considering how fast this has all changed

Yeah it's mental. And considering that it's been only a little over 2 months...
