In my opinion, it is potentially good for both countries. For every Korean trying to overstay or engage in prostitution, smuggling, or other criminal activity, there will be many dozens more spending tourist dollars, studying English, doing legitimate business, and, in all probability, getting a better impression of the United States than they previously had.

And I don't think the US has lowered its screening bar ever,its just changing lineup from in front of Embassy to immigration officer booths in any entering port. Don't they have more power? They could even arrest any Korean as a terrorist,no? Or was it just only in the movie thing? Wasn’t the requirment is to have a new passport which would be more difficult to forge , so why worry?

But it's such a boon to me personally, it's hard to be anything but thrilled.

At least for Hawaii, LA, and NY…" With a bad economy and horrible exchange rates for Koreans, don't bet on it. With the news of IMF time filling the Korean news, this bit of news is lost in the headlines. “Slight tourism boost to the economy? At least for Hawaii, LA, and NY…”
