Even transiting through the US is dodgy July 13, 2022 1:55 pm Pebble

We had planned to do our next long haul flight via LA and then back via Dubai so my youngest has flown round the world (he’s keen to do that) but then I read reports like this

https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2022/jul/13/have-you-recently-had-an-abortion-australian-transiting-through-us-questioned-then-deported

It’s ridiculous that we feel more comfortable going through Dubai than the US (though that depends which family members are with us, soon neither are likely to be a viable option with the way the US is going)
