agree,
I for one have crossed the US off my holiday list. The only reason I go there is because I HAVE to.. for simulator recurrency in Tucson AZ, as the sims only exist in the states for my type airplane.
Yes, I fit the profile, young guy, foreign, travel alone etc.. so I was profiled (not that they admit it) and had the pleasure of being searched 4 times (almost 5 as after being the "10th" at the gate for one search, I rejoined the line, only to be the 10th again so I promptly told them to ****** off)

So until the TSA drop their McCarthyest attitudes I ain't dropping my tourist dollars in the US economy
