Well, i've seen people avoid visiting USA thanks to airport security (and US airports in general). Insane visa requirements don't help either.
In the age of internet it's actually easier to stop physically moving around.
- Silhouette 13y agoWell, i've seen people avoid visiting USA thanks to airport security In fact, you're talking to one right now. The way I look at it, there are many wonderful places in the world that I would like to visit one day, but I'm never going to make it to all of them in the one lifetime I get. I'd prefer to go to places where I will feel welcome and enjoy myself, not to places where the procedure on arrival or departure is going to make me feel like a criminal just for showing up. Of course, some people have jobs that require them to travel or have family living abroad or for many other reasons would need to make much greater sacrifices than I do if they were to give up flying. So I try not to assume that everyone else can vote with their wallets as easily as I can on this one.

I haven't got anything criminal going on, and don't hail from anywhere 'suspicious'. It's just that I don't trust US customs/TFSA to not ruin my day for no reason whatsoever.
