The Trump administration plans to require all foreign tourists to
provide their social media histories from the last five years to enter
the country, according to a notice published Tuesday in the Federal
Register.
The data would be rCLmandatoryrCY for new entrants to the U.S., regardless
of whether they are entering from countries that require visas,
according to the notice from Customs and Border Protection.
In addition to social media histories, Customs and Border Protection
would add other new data collection fields, including email addresses
and telephone numbers used in the last five years, as well as the
addresses and names of family members, the notice reads.

Old mews, but ongoing.
The potential decline in travelers could cost the US an estimated $15.7 billion in lost visitor spending, according to World Travel & Tourism
Council.
Looks like the businessman wants the US to be closed for business. Oh,
well. I'll just have to flank from the South.
