You make it sound so "meh, whatever", but there's a few realities attached to this:

The airline in question will likely not serve you again, but probably more importantly, when you apply for a tourist visa to just about any country on earth, you'll now have to answer that question "Have you ever been denied or refused a visa or entry into a country?" and while some might take sympathy on "Oh, yeah, we get it", you can be sure you'll be getting extra attention and some countries will threaten to deny entry too.

Lol no. Nobody cares. Also airlines don't care.

Edit: typical US perspective. Something that happens in the US doesn't have relevant implications to the rest of the world.

Airlines do care. They get assessed a fee for every passenger that is turned around.

Oh look, Australia cares: https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/form-listing/forms/1563.pdf

> Have you, or any other person included in your visa application, ever been removed, deported or excluded from any country (including Australia)?

Oh look, Germany cares: https://preview.auswaertiges-amt.de/blueprint/servlet/resour...

> Have you ever been expelled or deported from the Federal Republic of Germany, had an application for a residence permit rejected, or been refused entry into the Federal Republic of Germany?

Almost like you're just making shit up based on some anti-US sentiment.

LOL at your hypocrisy. I am a UK citizen, and I am an Australian citizen, and I am -not- a US citizen, lived and worked in both and in Europe though I am, currently, in the US. But sure, make the same assumptions that you want to think I'm guilty of making.

Just mark "no" on the form and it's no problem anymore. Or mark "yes" and list it. Nothing is going to happen.

		That's the best you got. "Just lie on your visa applications, no countries on earth share data with each other and no-one cares except the US and who cares about them, nothing will ever happen to you." Cool.
