Nope. I don't cite that to show that these screens are going to pick up a random Ecuadorean from a small village, but to show how they're going to catch someone if they're on the terror watchlist or any of the international agencies' intelligence screens.

So why would I, a terrorist mastermind, not go get new people who haven't been on ops before?

As dismissive as you are towards what DHS is doing, what happens at the airport pales in comparison. There's no fingerprinting, there's no days of database review. Thirty to sixty seconds of conversation, and you're done (for the most part).

Plus full biometric scans and a database that's hooked to several external ones.

There's absolutely no benefit to trying to go through the asylum process rather than just coming in on an airplane with all the other tourists and travelers.

Yeah, you're just wrong on this one, sorry.
