My credit score in the USA probably doesn't prevent me from getting on an airplane.

Jay walking or speaking out against the government online will probably not affect my credit score.

It happens. When you are owing debts and do not pay, the system will ban you from high cost living, such as 4,5 star hotels, flights, high-speed trains.

Israel already does that for sure. The USA already has the right to reuse entry to non citizens for any reason, or no reason at all, just like every other country. Nothing has changed recently as far as I can tell.
