To those saying that people should be allowed to do dumb things and face the consequences. It's not that simple.
Even if they're dumb and get into trouble in NK, they're still American citizens. The State Department still has an obligation to try and get them back. That costs time, effort, and resources for State Department officials.
On top of that, North Korea is openly hostile to the US and its allies. You may have seen that they've been testing a lot of ICBMs lately, with varying degrees of success. Remember that between NK and the lower 48, there is Hawaii, as well as the US allies of Japan and South Korea. Not only are those nations big US allies, but the US has a military presence in both countries.
It is a dangerous time, and the US troops, US allies, and eventually, maybe even US civilians are in greater and greater danger as these missile tests progress.
Opening up US citizens to arrest and detention in North Korea is like giving them more chips to play with.
