There is something fundamentally wrong in the US if that is the case.

well clearly you will fit right in, but it's a slippery slope when governments start targeting groups of people who don't agree with their policies...

I found the border control people very professional, but that was twenty odd years ago, and memories were still raw from 9/11.

I do think though some have adopted a licence to inflict cruelty under this regime, and it pays to be wary, so the warnings are just sensible.

Yes Trumps bad 1959's style authoritarian simplistic paternalistic examples, which I remember all too well, has brought all the scum out of the woodwork who want to go back to the past.
It's not the least charm of a theory that it is refutable. The hundred-times-refuted theory of "free will" owes its persistence to this charm alone; some one is always appearing who feels himself strong enough to refute it - Friedrich Nietzsche
