    I'm hoping that the screening process includes some lessons learned since 9/11.

    And, hypothetically, these people could be oppressed non-Muslims looking for a little freedom from execution. I mean if I was somehow stuck in Iran I'd be trying to ****, and I bet you would too.

    There are actually tons of Iranians in the west who fled as their country was turning into a theocracy. These people might be much more like them.

    Though still, there are undeniable risks they are taking. On the flip side some of these people might prove to be extremely valuable intelligence assets.

    Some Muslim blowing up a train really sucks. But it's virtually nothing compared to the threats of a nuclear Iran or what they could hypothetically do through their intelligence agencies once they get past amature hour.
