The US visa waiver program is not applicable to most (or is it now all?) citizens of the blacklisted countries. Re-entry from neighboring countries does require a lot of non-Canadians and non-VWP countries' citizens to have a valid US visa to travel to/enter the US.

Indeed, but whether or not it was required of the airlines (by the USG) is something that I've not had checked out. But with reports like this

it doesn't look good for a lot of people with otherwise valid US visas.
