Travel ban makes sense in some cases
Philadelphia Inquirer ^ | March 27, 2017 | John R Lott Jr

Last week, government officials banned most carry-on electronic devices from U.S.-bound flights originating in more than a dozen Middle Eastern and African countries. The reason was due to an increase in terror threats.

No judges are stopping the ban on electronic devices. No states are suing because the law discriminates against predominantly Muslim countries. Most everyone accepts that our security agencies can look out for us when they perceive a real threat from certain countries.

Last February, a bomb disguised as a laptop computer damaged an aircraft taking off from the Somali capital, Mogadishu.

But just because we can successfully prevent terrorists from blowing up a bomb on their way to the United States, what have we accomplished if they, instead, engage in a terrorist attack once they get here?

The threat of terrorism is real. At last week's rally in Louisville, Ky., President Trump said we need to "keep these foreign terrorists from entering our country in the first place." . . .

This piece has lots of interesting facts on mass public shootings by Muslims.

There’s only one effective way of dealing with terrorists.
Since they don’t mind dying during their terror attach, they need to be dead whether they survived or not. Thus, securely bind them and put them in an incinerator.
Eventually others will get the message.

It makes sense to keep all m*slims out. The non-violent ones make babies who grow up and read their book of hate and turn violent.

Made sense in WW2 when we blocked the Germans and Japanese.
Today the democrats would file lawsuits and demand they be allowed in.
