[if value country ne US]
[bounce href="[area not_allowed]"]
[/if]

or

[if type=value term=country op=ne compare="US"]
&calc = delete $CGI->{country}; 1;
[bounce href="[area not_allowed]"]
[/if]

I am not sure if a bounce will work in etc/profiles.order, but this seems
like a good idea. A javascript could do it too, until they turn of
javascript :)
