I suppose that's exactly why I added "since 9/11" to my statement.

as many of the posters there mentioned INS is swamped and can't control the situation with illegals, and thanks to the ACLU police aren't even allowed to inquire about whether people in the country are legal. To look at the passport and try and do anything about it would invite another federal beurocracy to take over that in all likelihood would have turned them out on the street because they're overworked, understaffed, and have little to no available space to keep them until trial.

Well, I'll have to take your word for it, then. Though despite the fact that there's a chance their visas won't be checked, there's still a chance that they
will be checked - and if you're really trying to prepare a terrorist attack, I reckon you'd want to make sure you can't be thwarted by such an element. Ah well, or perhaps I'm simply overestimating terrorists' cunning in general.
