The odds of one of them being a member of a sleeper cell, secretly plotting a suicide attack on some target in the great LA area were about as great as a giant meteor striking the continental US at the very same moment. Continuing this charade that everyone must be treated as mad bomber is becoming tiresome. If you really believe this is true then how do you leave your house on any given day? Maybe the old lady next to you at the super market is a suicide bomber, or perhaps that baby in the stroller is packed with C4. After all, if anyone entering the US is a danger, even after already being screened at their departure point, then what about the 300 million people already here that were never screen. Oh, the horror.
