#1 I'm not sure why we would need to haggle about our safety. Americans certainly have some right to fly into America. For others they can follow the rules or stay home.

#2 This seems pretty easy to deal with. The passengers on any flight that doesn't "push" it's data to us on time gets the third degree when they arrive. 24 hour delay in baggage handling, etc. The word will get out on which arilines are not cooperating.

#3 tourism is a large income source for the EU economies - think of all teh euros those nasty Americans spend over there. Hate for that to stop, assholes. Course everyone could take the train or car....whoops

#4 They abide by our rules or they don't fly. We do not want questionable people on manifests to have to deal with here on our shores. The data requested should be reasonable, so we can use it to screen for potential terrorists. Erecting walls of hundreds of thousands of bureaucrats does not necessarily make you safe. The smart thinking factor is important, too.
