When I got married in 1992, we went to Hawaii for our honeymoon. At that
stage we required a visa for the visit. The questions on the visa
application included ones which asked if you had ever been involved in
genocide, or were visiting the US for terrorist purposes! There was a
note that answering yes to these questions didn't necessarily mean that
you wouldn't obtain a visa, but that you might have to attend an
interview. Like someone would actually answer yes, I'm a terrorist!
