The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

If you're an Arabic-speaking asylee without any identification at all, you're not getting released until the authorities can make damn sure they know who you are.

Sure about that?
cnn.com - Afghan refugee resettlement united states
After the biggest military evacuation in history, the Biden administration will now resettle more than 60,000 Afghan refugees inside the US over the next several weeks. To accommodate them, eight military bases have transformed into “small cities,” as one Defense official put it.

They screened all of these people, did they not?

Yeah - international travel is even bigger, and there's even more people flying into the country from overseas every day. So it's vastly easier to "blend in" among groups of tourists and businessfolks that everyone in the airport has a vested interest in seeing get through smoothly and quickly.

LOL. Do you fly?
Ever flown into Europe or a place like Tel Aviv?

If you're a Chinese operative, you're going to be one of the 2 million Chinese people who fly into the U.S. (mostly to west coast airports), rather than one of the few thousand Chinese people who walk across the border.

You're once again assuming that all terrorists are the same James Bond type. They're not.
Some of them are the planners who know the details.
Others are just the trigger-pullers.
