    Current Covid travel restrictions, IIRC, are more difficult to EU from US. From EU to US, check with the airlines or local gov't. Vaccine proof or recent negative test may be required. Keep in mind that the rules are in flux and that you have to get back.

    Norm i live in europe - Greece and every day hundreds of u.s citizens are coming for holidays.

    I will attempt to fly from turkey to the states next month because its doesn't belong to shengen union.

    From what I understand the restrictions are in reality not because of covid but for political reasons

    The EU took the US off the safe countries list last week. This hasn't affected most EU countries yet. But, some have added conditions.

    Avincow - suppose you're not a foreigner. What do you usually say?

    Also what does "flyered" mean exactly? Does that me if you show a player's card, or ID then some note pops up on the pit computer that you're not allowed to play? Or does it mean that cameras will recognize your face? Sorry if this is a stupid question. But I'm trying to figure what exactly people mean when they say getting "flyered" or "databased".

    Flyered means they took a picture of you and spread it around to nearby casinos. They don’t have to have your name or ID. I assume the casino manager looks at these flyered pictures when they get sent out. The casino manager is usually walking around the casino. It’s inevitable that he will see you. And it’s likely he will recognize you from a picture sent 2 hours previous, and back you off. Flyering is effective IMO.

    So for the AP at risk, why don't they buy a lot of disguise kits and have different look at each casino?

    So if being flyered doesn't require a info/ID, just a picture, then it's pretty temporary? Like you could come back another day or trip. Seems like they couldn't review thousands of pictures a day, only the most recent or relevant.
    This would mean "getting added to a database" is something different though and does require them having a name/ID? And it would stick far longer?

    You are correct about returning.

    There are many database entries without name/ID, too. Sometimes it will include a picture of your car and license plate, but if it's a rental, who cares.
