Its a long time since I flew to the US, but one of the reasons I stopped was the increasingly scary process of entering the country - the Transport Security Administration officers made the UK's Border Force at Manchester Airport look pretty friendly (in comparison).

Given their conduct in Minneapolis & elsewhere the news the Tangerine Tyrant is sending ICE agents to help the TSA at airports should fill any prospective traveller to the US with dread!

@ChrisMayLA6 don’t be under any illusions. They are pleasant and friendly to UK passport holders but if you’d ever seen how they behave towards other nationalities, you would not be using those adjectives.
Not even slightly.
