Would Bill Ayers be vetted?

Bill Ayers made bombs, and was ready to use them against GIs. Are those Portland State students that much different from him? As for Bill, he escaped punishment on a technicality, then became a university professor (gack!). He went on to help Barack Obama become President. The professors who taught those Oregon students to hate Jews, may have read his memoirs. I'll bet he and his disciples have no trouble getting vetted for security-sensitive jobs.
