At the local college there is likely to be an program (called IT or perhaps another name) which is teaching young minds about computers and networks. How likely is it that a terrorist, or the assistant to a terrorist, is learning about computers, networks, how to manage them, their weaknesses and how to destroy them?
And, if there were such people, here and there around our country or at similar kinds of schooling in other places of the world (and computers & networks are used everywhere), how difficult would it be for our national security people to discover them and discern whether the person studying is just like you & me or if that person has some other intentions we would disapprove?
Does it mean anything if that student does their Islamic prayers in the classroom in full view of everyone? Would it be any different if they prayed elsewhere? Would it matter if they had come from another country or if they were born & raised in America? How can you know someone's mind until they act?
I hope our government has been studying such questions and has some procedures which will help keep us safe.
