    Doesn’t that makes it riskier for Americans to travel? Now countries can just arrest Americans on bogus charges to get what they want from the US. Don’t get me wrong, if it was my family in an Iranian prison I would love for them to get free as well.

      I believe we’ve been shown multiple times in the past few years alone that as long as the arrestee is high-profile enough, we will play a game of Humanmon and swap them out for a different card.
