请教HN:你害怕去美国参加科技会议吗?
我不是美国公民,我必须说,即使在今年之前,我就已经开始对前往美国旅行产生了一些疑虑。
我上一次去美国是在2014年,但在过去的十年左右,我觉得那里的暴力事件似乎大幅增加,我对枪支非常恐惧。我住在欧洲,对我而言,大规模枪击事件的风险太高,尤其是考虑到和家人一起旅行。我明白概率,但即使概率超过0%对我来说就是为了访问一个国家而承担的巨大风险。
现在我还读到非美国公民在边境被拘留的情况。
我今年计划前往美国参加一些科技会议,但看起来这不是个好年头。
附言:想象一下为什么这是一个一次性账户,因为我读到他们会在边境检查手机、笔记本电脑。这比我害怕在互联网上谈论它更疯狂100倍。
我是偏执狂,还是有其他人也处于同样的情况?

I am not a U.S. citizen, and I have to say that even before this year, I was beginning to have some second thoughts about traveling to the U.S.<p>I traveled last time to the US in 2014, but in the last 10 years or so, it seems to me that there has been a huge increase in violence, and I have huge fears about guns. I live in Europe and the thought that there are mass shooting is for me too high risk specifically considering traveling with my family. I understand probabilities but still more than 0% is a huge risk just for visiting a country.<p>Now I also read about non-US citizens being detained on the border.<p>I was planing this year to travel to some tech conferences in US but it seems that it is not a good year.<p>PS: Imagine why this is a throwaway account because I read they check the phone, laptops at the boarder. This is 100% more crazy that I am afraid to even speak on the internet about it.<p>Am I paranoid or are there other people in the same situation?
