Then link ICE databases with the databases currently accessed to generate SSSS designation. As I conceded in my initial post, a determined terrorist would obtain a fake ID, perhaps in Boulder, Colorado from a source that supplies CU students.
My point is that there are ways to winnow out pepole who do not require additional screening, if we are willing to exert some additional effort rather than perpetuate the farce that is the current system.
