Reader comment on item: Identifying Islamists through Interrogations
Submitted by Barry Black (United States), Jan 13, 2016 at 09:32
A while back I made a similar comment about vetting immigrants. A much simpler process is to devise a psychological questionnaire with multiple trick questions that can easily trip up prospective Islamists. It's simple and cost effective. Of course Islamists with higher than normal intelligence might be able to see through the questions, but then again those Islamists don't migrate----the weak and the stupid are the ones lining up to emigrate.
