Did the travel ban affect you? Are you from one of the six affected countries? I read a lot of commentary about how the travel ban has influenced travel decisions, but I'm not seeing much practical impact to the vast majority of travelers.

Everyone has a right to vote with their euros of course, but I am curious if a single traveler has avoided France because of their policies in French Guyana, the Magreb or Sub-Saharan Africa or avoided China, Turkey or most Middle East countries because of human rights records? How about avoiding Italy or Greece because of widespread corruption or the U.K. because of the Brexit vote.

Avoiding travel because of political disagreements would mean that people would only visit places that are exactly like they want. It's geopolitical inbreeding.

Just a point of fact: Trump isn't denying climate change, he's skeptical of the impact from human activity.

I think it has mostly to do with how the TSA treats us non Americans. We don't have to be from one of the banned countries. Every non American has to fear being asked to hand his laptop / cellphone and whatnot.

If it makes you feel any better at all, we Americans are also treated like dirt for the disloyalty of leaving the country in the first place.

TSA are not the people who would ask you for your cellphone and laptop.
