The numbers not accurate? Possibly. It is a lobbying group after all. However, it does make a very good point. As an American ex-pat with a job that requires a bit of travel every now and then the one thing I dread is going through American custom. If it wasn't for the fact that my family's in the US or that our company's HQ'd in the US (and I do have to visit every now and then) I really don't think I'd be visiting.
Don't even get me started on American carriers.
