        @DamonSilvers are you at Dulles? Are they telling you judge ruling doesn't apply / no jurisdiction there?

        @EDCauchi yes I am at dulles. The question of jurisdiction has been raised--unclear by whom--CBP or DoJ or where.

        @DamonSilvers That's interesting. They make foreigners get visas to USA to "transit" connecting flights.

        @KatCapps @DamonSilvers It's called transit visa. It also exists for Schengen area, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_policy_of_the_Schengen_Area#Visa_exemptions …

        @DamonSilvers @justinjm1 Also, US has no international transit zones -unlike Russia. Bannon must have just passed along Moscow's talkers.
