Travelers to N Korea should sign waiver

[HAB911]

U.S. Sen. John McCain says Americans who are “stupid” enough to still want to visit North Korea should be required to sign a waiver absolving the U.S. government of any blame if they’re harmed while there.

2. What kind of "blame" is being placed on the feds....

That would be stopped by a waiver?

5. The family of Otto blames Obama for not rescuing him.

6. McCain is special.

How in the world would a waiver stop that?

[Coventina]

8. No idea. The family is free to express their opinion.

Maybe the family is considering actually suing Obama for not getting their son back?
I don't see how that could possibly hold up in court, though.

The man was an adult. He made his (extremely unwise) choices.

10. I have no issue with a waiver that states...

You are stupid.

Not sure about the rest. Seems like any further would be a blatant infringement on Free Speech.

12. And one has to ask how many lives would be lost trying to rescue him if even possible.

It's a horrible place. It only worked for Trump, as I've read, because he was sadly near death from being murdered by NK.

No, really.

4. I agree

Go there at your own risk. Dennis Rodman is probably the only American who can go there safely.

Otto Warmbier dies days after release from North Korean detention

Warmbier’s death could push Congress or the Trump administration to restrict or ban Americans from traveling to North Korea.

Reps. Adam B. Schiff (D-Calif.) and Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) have introduced the North Korea Travel Control Act in the House, which would require Americans who want to travel to North Korea to obtain a license. There would be no licenses for tourists.

Separately, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has raised the prospect of the administration using an executive order to ban travel to North Korea.

11. I think his point is that people should acknowledge they've been warned not to go.

The government doesn't have any liability for not getting you back.

[Xolodno]

13. Damn that broken clock.....

But yeah, something along the lines of...


I acknowledge by Traveling to DPRK (North Korea) I may be subject to by its government:

1. Arrest Sign:_____________

2. Torture Sign:______________

3. Death Sign:______________


I understand that the US Government considers North Korea a no hostage zone. In the event I'm arrested or taken hostage, the US Government in no way will negotiate for nor is obligated to, negotiate for my release.

Sign:_________________


Checklist:

1. Payment for burial arrangements in the case North Korea releases my body.

2. A will or living trust for end of life procedures.

etc.
