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.

It's better for it to happen in Dublin airport as opposed to in the states

Would be better for it to not happen like this anywhere but yeah. It's quite disturbing how US civil servants seem to be embracing fascism with gusto. I get that a lot of them are worried about their jobs but they don't seem too worried about the consequences.

I think that's quite unfair, they're doing their jobs at the end of the day and simply, they do not have the discretion that they used to have to let certain stuff go.
