We already have some US cities advertising their friendliness to foreign tourists in an attempt to counteract the policies and image of the current administration. Industries likely to be affected are already protesting.

It seems most citizens who are not frequent flyers are big fans of security theater - anything to keep our skies safe.

How many parts of security theater have been rolled back?

Our main hope at the moment is the EU. I fear the compromise between no large electronics in the cabin and no large lithium in the hold will be no electronics larger than a cell phone on airplanes, period.
