But, let's look at this another way. Does your state check people coming in from Nebraska? There are some bad people in Nebraska. Maybe there should be some checkpoints in your state's airports.
Well I want to be sure the people entering my country are legitimate visitors and are not trying to circumvent the law. The best way, though far from fool-proof, is to interview a person who raises suspicions and examine his belongings. It's an inconvenience for legitimate travellers, but that's all part of travelling.
