The article assumes that the dip in tourism is the result of security
procedures. Isn't it also possible that the dip is the result of potential
tourists' distaste for recent American actions on the world stage?

The Washington Post's article this morning on this topic noted that issue
as twofold, both the distaste for American actions and the hassle factor
of the new security procedures.
