another point is, if you are visiting America, dont you need a passport,
which has a picture on it? part of me though does think it is a good idea to
id everyone who visits here, but that means everyone, not exempting certain
countries.

Not just a hassle for foreigners. With the new policies causing backlash,
flight cancellations, and the flight being detained on the ramp for exit
interviews we've pretty much decided to put off a trip to Europe for a few
years. It's a shame too because I had finally convinced my partner that a
trip overseas might be fun.
