The other issue is that, due to the enormous land mass there is no real need for the average US citizen to travel outside his/her country. Consequently, the vast majority of Americans don't even hold a passport.


46% of the population owns a passport, 54% do not as of 2014 data.  Sure, that is much lower than European countries, but I think "vast" majority is overstating it.
