Sure is, but it will shut up Pelosi the hypocrite ("I voted for the fees before I denounced them") and the Democrats. To me, waiving the fees is a no-brainer politically.
The main problem is that it raises expectations about what the government should be doing again - every American who ignores a travel warning will now expect their "free" evacuation from a war zone once hostilities arise. There's no such thing as a free evacuation.
