There is another thread about travelling to San Diego and entry bans came up a couple of times. Things that happen at home or abroad often may have repercussions on our freedom to foreign travel. Sometimes just having a countries stamp in your passport could deny you entry into another country, or having to explain your travels when you arrive at home. Israel, although they do not stamp passports any more was one, and Cuban doesn't anymore as it was problematic for US citizens.
I worked for a few years in the US years ago, with a green card; I would get asked about the Cuba stamps. Even though it was years ago, US immigration still looks at me twice when I say I'm not entering for work. They keep track of it forever.
When I applied for my Nexus card I had to disclose previous travel. At the interview part of the process CBP took interest in my past work in the US and travel to Russia and China.
Of course cannabis or alcohol convictions are probably the most common reason for being denied entry. The advent of facial recognition at US entry has resulted in denied entry for a few SPs. This would be another reason for the ladies conceal faces and certain recognizable features.
I'm curious as to other folks experiences with foreign entry bans.
