The feds can stop people from travelling, a state cannot.
State is not preventing you from traveling between states; they are limiting your freedom of movement within the state once you arrive, similar to restrictions imposed in other states during the early days of the pandemic. Expect the state to stand on this defense if ever challenged. Hawaii seems to think it's a foreign country.
It's just it would be very costly and time consuming to call them on.
It's faster and cheaper to move to another state that has a functional government. Even if Safe Travels eventually goes away (via Federal court, since the State will never give up the control and the wealth of tourism data) Hawaii will still have a rail project that absorbs any and all revenue, fake missile alerts, regressive taxation, a corrupt old-boy network, cops that shoot first, weekly water main break, overrun with tourism, "cannot ship your item to Hawaii", failure to issue REAL ID, no accountability, punitive rules, expensive everything...
If you're not doing something that's "Hawaii-specific", it's a better deal to live almost anywhere else.
