Because here are many non-USA citizens on HN who travel to USA for work, conferences, business meetings etc. and are concerned that one day it might happen to them too?
- Admission is refused to holders of passports or travel documents containing a visa/stamp for Israel Israel or any data that passenger has been to Israel or indication of any connection with the State of Israel.
- All US passport holders are only allowed into Iran if part of a tour group (or with a guide). It apparently still stands that Americans must also be escorted from the airport to the hotel, and cannot make their own arrangements (it all has to be pre-organised – a simple addition via a tour company).
I fail to see how the parent story is relevant to tech at all.
A person with a federal warrant was arrested entering the USA. Why is this hacker news?
If you want to discuss "what might happen" when entering a country, and the entry laws of those countries, I'm game. But again, I don't see how it is tech related.
