Yes, I appreciate that the numbers will increase. I am also aware, tho not intimately aware of HOW foreign nationals gain access. My point really is that this is going to remain a tool of frequent travellers, including some airline staff with whom I've spoken.
IMO, it will NEVER reach the point that it is overwhelmed by the common international tourist types.
