OK I get Canada. But the rest? But lets face it... its a goverment paid vacation. I can't see Abu Dhabi being the first choice for US Immigration Officers.

You know.. how much they love us and all.....
There is no upside to this. None. The handful of AMERICAN passengers that will benefit will be far outweighed by the potential security issues. I for one will not be surprised when there is an incident and it is traced right back to this.
