Shameful.

Original police force.

I think the ban is bad, but, if you're going to do it, do it right.

Checking Facebook accounts (public privacy) is proper due diligence when looking for extremism.

Again, I'm anti ban, but this seems like common sense. Many of the terrorists used Facebook as extremism before committing their acts. This includes domestic terrorism, not even related to Islam, such as Dylan Roof..

I suspect it will be used to deny entry to people and families of people who simply think Mr. Trump is a waste of skin, which would, by that measure make me and most of DU "terrorists."

But that's not a reason you shouldn't check.

People could be denied because they dislike Trump, but that hasn't happened yet. I think checking Facebook for extremist support is common sense.

1) You have no way of knowing that

because

2) They wouldn't make that public

and

3) Facebook is full of fake profiles from sexy young Thai virgins and people who "made $3000 last month working from home".

It's as reliable a way of knowing whether someone is an extremist as knowing how good a shot with a pistol an online gamer is by looking at their Call of Duty Xbox achievements. As in, not one bit.

I've watched a couple of the 'border patrol' reality shows on Netflix (Australia and Canada, there's a US one that I haven't watched yet) and the Customs and Border Patrol officials will frequently check someone's phone, emails, etc to see if they're telling the truth (for example, trying to stop someone from working on a tourist visa).

If you post shit on social media and tell officials something else, you will get caught (same with other things).
