A couple of quick comments:
Bloomberg has a quote from the top Democrat on the House Intelligence committee who says he has seen the intel and thinks the ban is both “both necessary and proportional.”

Britain is following suit (partially). Curious the omissions of UAE and Qatar...hmmm...maybe someone thought they could sneak a little retaliation in the US ban?
AUH is especially curious to me given that US-bound passengers go through pre-clearance before boarding.
No US airlines are targeted because no US airlines fly to the affected countries. United and Delta used to fly to the Middle East and Dubai, respectively, but those services have ended. As have Istanbul flights.
