Two problems here.
1 - It assumes we KNOW who all the terrorists are. Sure, they know some of them, but surely far from all. I doubt many of them "register" with any government agency, so maybe the name we think we have for them is wrong in the first place.
2 - Assumes they could not easily get another fake ID and travel under another name.
