      Yeah my country warned transpeople to not travel in US like months ago, that alone should have raised some flags for everyone else as well

        I can’t imagine there are very many people doing this. You can just go to the one in Paris for a fraction of the cost and travel time. You can’t see the Grand Canyon in Europe, though.

          suspect you can’t imagine much if that’s your limit.

          trust me, shit tons of people from other countries come to disney world and land.

          not endorsing it, but that is the reality.

            Did you have a bad day or something? Of course a lot of European visitors go to the parks. What I’m saying is that the number of Europeans visiting the US specifically to go to Disney Land or World is probably negligible.

      Many people who think it’s not that bad yet and they’re right that they’ll probably be ok. I know many people traveling to other hellhole countries. They’re not scared. So if there’s a congress they need to attend in the States, they go.

        I get your point but you don’t seem to get how serious the situation is. As a german I always wondered why there were so many Jews still around in Germany in the late 30s. Now I understand better. It’s a slow process of pushing each day what is tolerated to be said and done. Also it’s a bitter pill to accept your own country is turning against you or your loved ones.

    This seems like an effort to generate kompromat on every tourist to the US.

    Names and addresses of every family member.

    Probably an outrageous amount of access to your phone, it directly mentions location services.

    10 years of emails, and 5 years of social media.

    Biometric data and DNA samples.

    The amount of espionage you could use this for is staggering. And I garuantee Palantir will get its hands on it.

    What the actual mother fucking deep fried double wide inbred corn sucking bull shit are these god damn cunts doing now? Jesus, Mary, Joseph, and all his carpenter friends sigh. I’d apologies on behalf of my country, but I don’t think enough of it truly cares enough for it to mean anything, so instead I’ll just say run, and quickly.

    So, if 1% 2-5% of idiots travel to USA and get their DNA taken & saved in a database, estimations say, that 100% of EU citizens could be identified, if I’m not wrong.

    This is so f*cking scary. But it already was before with this 23andme or FamilyTreeDNA-shit.

    Edit: corrected statistics

      Do you have a source for this? I find it very interesting and would like to understand how exactly that would work. I assume it has something to do with some genetic distance between people and triangulating.

        More broadly, a genetic database needs to cover only 2% of the target population to provide a 3rd cousin match to nearly any person

        https://www.science.org/cms/asset/089c0893-0dc3-4668-be4a-cff6d3915fad/pap.pdf

        Since I don’t know about newer studies, I will correct myself to 2-5% to identify the rest.

        My 1% came from a german source (Question at the Bundestag by Die Linke-party) which could still be correct though:

        Currently, over 1 percent of the population in Germany is already registered in the DNA analysis file (DAD) of the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA). This means that, statistically speaking, most residents have a third-degree relative in the database (see: ç). In other words, if familial searching were applied to the DAD, then theoretically, via the detour of near matches, every resident could be identified via DNA analysis, provided that sampling is uniform and unbiased

      Nah. I think it will be difficult to throw over existing data security regulations. Both in EU and national level. But the concern is valid. We don’t want that

    Why? Like seriously what does the idiot think he’s going to achieve with all of this. Because it seems like the republicans are speed running political irrelevance.

    It doesn’t matter how many idiots they get to vote for them if the US dollar ceases to be the world currency because of all their stupid decisions. They’ll end up being in charge of an barely populated (ironically everybody with any brains immigrated) unproductive wasteland with crumbling infrastructure. I’m sure the great and wealthy will love living in that world.

      Why?

      These assumptions are not so inevitable considering how the US can compensate them:

      if the US dollar ceases to be the world currency

      Fascism helps to fight the wars that prevent anybody from dropping the dollar. Libya and Iraq don’t have to be the last ones.

      They’ll end up being in charge of an barely populated unproductive wasteland

      Not if Europe doesn’t have enough energy for their industries and has to shift them to the US. It hurts to see, but that’s what is happening.

      Downvoters, why does this not answer OP’s question?

        Why would Europe move manufacturing to the US. It would be just as expensive as in Europe, if you were to move manufacturing elsewhere it would be to India.

          To avoid tariffs and because the elites have agreed to do so. The EU promised to buy US gas despite not being able to do so. So there must exist agreenents outside the law. I expect the same for manufacturing.

    It doesn’t get more unreasonable or more search-and-seizure. This is what happens when you let fascists in and they cancel constitution and rule of law.
