Because they have U.S. passports making it fairly easy for them to become schooled in terrorism in Iraq or Syria, then fly back to the U.S. and organize a multi-city Boston Marathon style bombing, or smuggle in some of the thousands of shoulder fired missiles that ISIS now has and take down U.S. airliners, these are just two of dozens of likely possibilities.

If only we had some sort of defense system in place, amirite?

From Adam Lanza to Timothy McVeigh, our homegrown wackos have already proven their ability to wreak havoc without traveling to the Mideast to train.

Like when a foreign intelligence agency tells us to question a suspect who has been in an area known for radical indoctrination and training and we just let him back in the country to do as he pleases?

good, glad he was killed

Lanza and McVeigh can't really be lumped in together

If the Boston bomber had traveled to Pakistan instead of Chechnya, I'm pretty sure the FBI would have tracked his movements when he returned.

I'm trying to make the point that just because something is low risk doesn't mean it should be ignored or treated as a trivial matter.

The fact of that was that the gov't was informed by another gov't that this was a bad dude with potentially bad intentions. If he went to the moon that part is irrelevant.

Perhaps. I just found it disturbing that Russian intelligence (who I'm sure generally hate us) told us we need to check into this guy and we basically told them to mind their own business.

I'm talking about defense systems. You're talking about operatives being allowed to maneuver where instructed.
I'm not buying that our defense system is this porous. Maybe that's being naive on my part.

Ok, please define your defense systems.

I'm much more concerned with the next school shooter or pissed off anti gov type than I am about a dirtly mooooslim somehow possibly getting back here and "blowing up" a city.
