Those naughty boys at the Wail & RT are making it all up again

that intelligence existed months ago, as I'm sure I read that ISIS in their own literature were encouraging jihadhi's to disguise themselves as refugees to get into Europe and commit jihad

How do they disguise themselves as refugees? Or do you mean don't turn up at the border in a Toyota Hilux wearing camoulflage gear with an AK47?

I don't know what the criteria for refugee is but if I was a jihadhi, I'd get to the European mainland, mingle in with people that looked like me, then when I bumped into any form of governing authority the only words I'd speak would be "from Syria Assad kill family" then I'd STFU and see where they took me

There's a difference between ISIS bigging themselves up and actual credible intelligence of a plan being implemented.

The reason that the skittle analogy is wrong is - well if you really want to know, dig out the thread that was current at the time.

I wonder if the authorities have ever thought of using translators?

yes and when does the logistics of bringing in translators, psychologists, Doctors, social workers etc get too burdensome and expensive, for the boarder authority to turn around and just say, "take this card go to X camp and report into us every two weeks"

two weeks go by and said refugee may have vanished

[d000hg]

yes it does

but then why do people freak out when the skittles analogy is made?

Because the correct analogy is you'd have to eat a wheelbarrowful of them to find one bad one. And if you ate that many you'd be dead regardless

you don't understand risk do you?

[d000hg]

you don't understand risk do you?

What, the idea that the ratio of poisoned skittles to normal ones is kind of important here? If one in a million bottles of wine was poisonous you'd treat it differently to one in ten.

And, apparently, neither do you. You are more likely to be killed crossing the road than in a terrorist attack. Although, if you live in Allepo, the two might be congruent.

It only takes one to kill you. The fact YOU believe the risk is unlikely doesn't make it small. If the risk is death then its very real.
