I agree, to a point. If an order were coming from the top, it would be happening many times a day.

But it could also be that the overzealous staffers feel like they want to impress the higher ups. So it could well be happening bottom up. The administration certainly isn't jumping in to fix it when it happens. If so, that's something you need to take into account if you want to travel here.

Many are going to boycott us entirely anyway, just because of how hostile the administration is to our erstwhile allies.
