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 _NO ONE_ without a US passport has ANY BUSINESS visiting the US right now. They will pull you for any reason or none at all. And even with a blue passport, with ICE replacing TSA at security checkpoints? I'm not going, and I *have* a bloody blue passport. Chinga la migra! #fuckICE
