Terrorism Concerns: Danish Politicians Want Stricter Checks on American Travelers - SPIEGEL ONLINE - News - International

The conservative Danish People's Party and leftist Social Liberals in Denmark are calling for increased checks on Americans wishing to travel to Denmark, including the introduction of visa requirements and pre-travel disclosures.

"We have had to admit that the Americans have not been as effective in their anti-terrorism efforts as we thought and that the threat against Denmark has grown," says Danish People's Party Justice Spokesman Peter Skaarup.

According to Visit Denmark almost 500,000 Americans visit the country each year. One of those who twice this year availed himself of easy entry into the country was a man recently arrested in Chicago on charges of conspiracy to carry out an attack on the Jyllands-Posten newspaper.

Well .... pfffffffftttt on 'em.  

I didn't want to go there anyway.  Their smorgasbords are lame, they can't make lefse worth a damn, and they are so cheap their sandwiches come with only one slice of bread.

Plus Danish is impenetrable, even to Danes:

Why would an American, or anyone else for that matter, want to launch/cause a terrorist attack in Denmark?  If a person succeeded, what would be the message?  Isn't "The City" a more likely target?
