Plan would apply to countries not currently required to get visas to the US, including Britain and France

In a notice published on Tuesday, the US Customs and Border Protection agency (CBP) said it would also require any telephone numbers used by visitors over the same period, and any email addresses used in the last decade, as well as face, fingerprint, DNA and iris biometrics. It would also ask for the names, addresses, birthdates and birthplaces of family members, including children.

    Just straight up a violation of the 4th Amendment, and if there are any legal repercussions for the content of your accounts, depending on the nature content and the consequences of it, could be violations of the 1st and 5th amendments. These constitutional rights cover every single man woman and child on US soil, even visitors. There is no way any of this is legal.

    At what point do these countries start reciprocating?

    Start subjecting Americans (who can afford to go abroad) to the same bullshit we subject foreigners to and we might find support for the regime evaporating…

      Never. European countries gain nothing from tourists going to USA. They get money from USA tourists coming to Europe. It’s a win-win for Europe: more European tourists staying here while US tourists still coming to spend their money. Why fight it?
