Do you think this travel ban only affected the ones who were profiled and detained? It affects the entire travel system and the people who go through it ever day.

There's going to be something that slips through now and then, but how are we supposed to live our lives while trying desperately to stop it? Do you want to have search checkpoints at every street corner while you go about your business because there may be someone with an ak47 ready to mow down crowds of people? BTW, that's something a muslim terrorist could do at any time if they wanted to -- so why haven't they done it in a major way yet?

This order is based on fear created by Fox News. They've been taking something which is a moderate problem, and blowing it up into an existential threat for all the scared old white people in middle America for more ratings. Now one of those Fox news watching dummies is president and is going to fix the "problem", which if there is one has already been rigorously screened.
