CORRECTION courtesy of LTC Joseph C. Myers, Senior Army Advisor at Air Command and Staff College at Maxwell Air Force Base in Montgomery, Alabama: "This article is factually wrong Cat Stevens was denied entry not because his name resembles one on the watch list but because his own Islamic charity work had ties to supporting terrorism."

Nice catch. Now if we can do something to combat the ideology that makes it possible for people with no terror history or association with any terror group to commit acts of violence, we'll be dealing with the problem in a fuller way. "Terror database gets plenty of hits," by Sara A. Carter in the Washington Times:
The Terrorist Screening Center has detected more than 40,000 people trying to gain entry into the U.S. who either associated with terrorist groups or were known terrorists themselves, and the database is only going to get better, says the agency's chief."The country is undoubtedly much safer today as a result of the work at the Terrorist Screening Center," said Director Leonard C. Boyle, who added that his agency is working to fix problems with the database identified by the Department of Justice's Inspector General.
Getting rid of the imams & their collaboratives in wacko-demia from an active defense standpoint (before-the-fact preventive measures).
From a passive defense (after the fact) make the penalty so draconian & on a level they will understand they'd think twice, if at all.
Both would be a great start...but not counting on it with the pc-collaborating infestations running things.
If we just stop all muslims from entering the country this mind-numbing and expensive screening process would be unnecessary. This is like trying to distinguish Germans from Nazis back during the big one. Impossible and doomed to failure.

reminds me of the martians in "mars attacks". "we come in peace" as they blast away the humans with lazer guns.
Geez, 40,000. Tiny minority? 40,000 tried to come here legally, how many waltzed across the boarders, undetected? How many terrorists got through legally? 40,000 out of how many total?
I’m not impressed with this latest bit of bureaucratic hocus pocus.
Only 40,000 throat slitters tried to enter the USA?!
Thank God for the 2nd amendment to the Constitution. Time to exercise my right to bear arms, I believe.
eve-ann-gelical,
Please don't wait in 'exercising' that right. Practice makes perfect- and time might be short. Wish you were a neighbor, I could certainly give you a place to target practice.
Hmmmm... 40,000 terrorists 'caught'?
How exactly did they come up with that number. Were those picked up from the total that filled out the paperwork to legally come here as students? tourists? refugees? Enquiring minds would like to know.
And what exactly are those problems with the database they're working to fix? I guess it'd be too much to ask that processing these folks for entry into the country STOP until the problems have been fixed?
Also, I'd be interested in knowing Mr. Boyle's estimate about how many 'terrorists' might have slipped across our southern border. A handfull have been caught over the last couple of years- and they weren't caught by the Terrorist Screening Center.
I see more amd more people covering their own rear ends lately. Connecting all the dots paints a picture that greatly concerns me. Continue praying hard, and keep preparing for the worse everyone.
A friend of mine is trying to get a government job and while she was perusing the jobsusa site she saw lots of openings for the Immigration Department where you examine visas to verify if they are properly filled out for entry.
It almost makes me want to apply and quit my current job...
We need more patriotic and informed Americans working in our government.
But what about the million or so already here?
Brought in since the 1965 Immigration Reform?
To quote a wise man:
"They strain for a gnat and overlook the camel."
Ya know one thing that really is a bite in the ass irony?
They're let in like a river...yet the TSAs in the now-publicized oakland treat our own troops returning from the sandbox like this:

...but what else is new from the "territory" (note (I didn't say "district") that's
home to militant commie masquerading as a democrat barbara lee
(who replaced another discredited militant commie masquerading as a democrat) ronald v. "red" dellums...
former home to former mayor jerry "moonbeam" brown, now serving as *ahem* state attorney general, etc...
Yep, same city home to the "muslim bakery" bulls**t.
Birds of a feather,ya know...
Everytime a Muslim is allowed to immigrate to this country, we allow a potential terrorist enter.
You can be certain that if 40,000 terrorist were identified trying to enter the U.S., a couple hundred thousand more got past the screeners.
