Interesting article this is. No idea how this is enforced, even if it was supposedly currently optional.

It will be an optional data field

Well, that sounds helpful.

Guessing would-be terrorists won't readily give this info up.

I mean in my experience in dealing with social media/profiles/forums, it can be quite a lot. People have sock accounts, troll accounts, private accounts, public accounts.. all sorts of things. So how can they really expect this to work?

But honestly it's like many of the numerous dumb questions they ask.

Have you come to America to do X criminal activity, yes or no?

Do they actually think someone will answer an honest yes to that question?
