Wasn't sure if anyone had posted this yet. For those of us in the
process I would think that findings like this can only slow the system
down even further as more checks are implemented

It's OK. It's been established that the old people here forget.

Something I noticed quickly was it focused on citizenship, where we all
know USCIS is failing in other areas too. But this is tailored with a "Thank
$Deity we caught a supposed terrorist [didn't he have *residence* in the
U.S. for at least three to five years before he applied for citizenship?]
even though the system is broke. Now we have to tighten it more so we can
find those glaring terrorist applications, no matter how many people we
inconvenience otherwise" twist for the mainstream public. The implications
for what will happen to the legal immigration process is swept under the
rug.
Those that tell you funds are limited, show them this:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15982036/. How much did that take to implement
(and that only covers *documented* entry to the U.S.). Does that mean as an
U.S. citizen I had a threat level applied to me (that I can never see, even
under FOI?) for just trying to visit my wife, possibly affecting my DoD
security clearance (and without clearance I can't hold a few of the job
positions I have been in for the last 20 years).
