Default Hope for the future

Travelers rate America's entry process as the "world's worst" by greater
than a 2:1 margin over the next-worst destination area.


Well, duh. After a country has been successfully attacked by foreign
nationals using airliners as weapons, did you expect to be welcomed
with open arms at the airport, without paperwork or security?

It's actually rather unusual that foreign tourists are being allowed in
the country at all. Throughout US history, tourism has been shut down
during war time. (Necessary aviation content: So has general
aviation, by the way.)

But all that's beside the point. In a country where most of our states
are larger than France -- and there are 50 of them -- there is more to
see and do here than any one person can accomplish in a lifetime.

But I'm gonna try!
