Would love to visit all those great places... yet, I respect myself enough to not go through that security circus to enter the country.

Oh shit. A guy waves a wand at you for 3 seconds and somebody else looks at your ID. It's such a huge hassle.
PS: Enjoy your weekly Muslim terror attacks.

If it would be just that, I would not have any issues with it. The circus already starts with a registration for a visa (fingerprints), continues with booking tickets (all sorts of data including food preferences), then there is boarding the plane (naked scanners, in Europe). The flight itself would be fine and then there is the whole thing at the US border (God knows what).
PS: From a very US-loving country that still has to experience its first Muslim terror attack.
