i feel sympathy for the idea, but it kinda undermines the case against these practices. If we're saying "terrorism" isn't enough of a reason for wide-scale privacy invasion, how could "getting the US to change its policy" ever be enough? Additionally, it's an individual's rights being infringed, almost none of whom have influence on policy beyond voting, and the vast majority of whom, belonging to the subset of Americans traveling to Europe, didn't even vote for Trump. |

These practices mentioned by GP exist since well before 2017.
Following your logic, the question would be if they voted for Obama. And, if the vast majority didn't vote for Trump, they probably voted for Obama. So it actually would affect the "right" people.
(Not that I agree in any way with punishing citizens for what their government does)
