Hi,
I'm from Australia, been to the US once before and would not be put
off coming back because of this. I think it's a good thing.

regards,

It's a complete waste of time and money. Furthermore I'm not going to
tolerate a
fledgeling country with a dubious idea of "democracy" and questionable
leadership take my personal data for their nazionalsozialistische
"total awareness" drive (nor do I fancy transiting through a country
which has no-smoking zones OUTSIDE their airport buildings). So they
can shove it, I'm not going to use yank airlines or transit via the
US, my business is going elsewhere.
