No one claimed that it is normal to be detained for insults in Western nations, you're the only one arguing that point. Parent comment specifically mentioned terrorism accusations in the context of treatment that Hayes experienced and the fears he envisioned. Had they said that all travelers to the US have fears of being held on terrorism charges then you would have a point, but they didn't. It was limited to how people already accused of terrorism are treated [0] and what fears they have, not travelers in general. >Perhaps the US has done more bad things than most. But none of them are comparable to North Korea. Playing that game won't be productive.
