It Is About National Security

NMallory has a post up about the visas of 100 or so Iranians being revoked while they were on their way to some University reunion in Santa Clara. I don’t necessarily agree with her assertion that the US let them get on the plane to come here since we do not allow people on planes in other countries but she makes a valid point that they were cleared originally. My question would be how old is the passport and visa and how long has it been revoked. The US will not disclose the reason that the visas were revoked so there might be a very legitimate reason. Perhaps a reason like this:
Eleven Egyptian students who were supposed to travel to a Montana university after flying to JFK airport late last month disappeared in New York, spurring federal authorities to issue a nationwide alert, officials said yesterday. New York Post
There is no indication that these 11 students are up to no good and they might have been victims of some kind of crime. Until we find them we will not know. Their visas have been revoked and there is a search for them now taking place. Let us hope these are not people who are parts of sleeper cells that intend to do us harm.
