What can you do though? Just like you can't stop every crime from happening, it's very hard to stop one or two people from going out and doing something stupid. 

Even if you had a "Muslim ban" it would be fairly easy for people to beat the ban. 1/3 of the world's population is Muslim that all look different, IMO all such a policy would do is drive a certain number of people to purposely want to strike the US or US citizens in retataltion for such a policy. 

And a "questionaire" would be stupid too, anyone could just answer the questions a certain way and get through. 

The better solution is to vet people harder who are coming from the Middle East (hate to say it, but it is what it is), but to do so in a way that doesn't make a big fuss/song and dance about it and is streamlined and quick, so you're not getting into things like dragging people out of line and forcing them to dump their luggage in front of 300 other people. 

We need to have a system that works, but does so without humilating people who just want to go to Disneyland or something. 

The problem isn't with vetting harder or immigration. The attack could easily come from a Muslim convert who is white and has n American name. 

 

The problem is figuring out why and how these people are being talked into doing stupid shit and by whom. The everyday mosques and madrasahs are extra vigilant about who they let in and what crazy material to avoid branding it anti Islamic (as in the extremist material). How are these people falling through the cracks and who is brain washing these people into doing these things. 

The problem there is I don't think these people are being radicalized locally. Unfortunately the internet allows anyone to basically find anything if they really want to see it.
