That would be helpful, I imagine, but I also have never noticed those (though it’s been a few years since I’ve flown out of the US).

Fascinating. I’ll admit this has never been an issue for me because I don’t travel with cash, but I can imagine being caught totally unaware of this.

That’s for entering the US. As fast as I’m aware, there isn’t an expectation that you declare anything upon exit? I’ve never been asked to make a declaration at my departure airport, or on the departing side of the border.

Again: some of us will only understand a punch in the face. It is what it is.

We’ve grown terrible at imposing limits or consequences on ourselves. Others may now see to imposing them for us.
i think that you're being an absolute wiener if your key complaint as an American right now is "the Europeans on this niche social media site are being mildly rude to me over the prospect of our mad king going to war with them."

I kinda thought “Nordik” was meant to evoke like hygge and sauna, not “Skyrim belongs to the Nords”

There must’ve been a different political right that I wasn’t aware back then when I was paying very close attention

anyway, I assume the way you get to this is either:

1) memory distortion of some kind

or

2) spending 2000-2004 exclusively reading from the Lieberman<->Buchanan bands of the opinion spectrum, thus never being exposed to liberals or leftists

The only way to buy into the idea that no one was worried until now that DHS could become what it is, is to ignore the furor around the Patriot Act and FISA in the 00s. Given media and politicians' propensity to ignore the left, I guess it's not surprising they've memory holed all of that pushback.
