when the risk of a false negative is a terrorist attack your screening test had better have no false negatives

and if you have to limit it to 5 year old orphans so be it

That's assuming that you can only classify people as "positive" and "negative" and that your only options are "let them in and do nothing about it" and "turn them away." Both of those aren't really true for terror threats. I mean, you shouldn't let in anyone at all-shut all borders-by that logic, that's the only way to have no false negatives.

Fiorina's catch phrase this debate is "showing strength".

Carson: "Economy is another weapon besides the military. And without a military, we have nothing."

so basicly, according to carson: "the only way to deal with North Korea is via superior economy. We have to abuse that on a nation that spends all his money on it's military ignoring it's publics needs for food. So we need to strenghten our military"

you can certainly make a 2x2 table with "terrorist" and "not terrorist" and "identified as terrorist by screening" vs "not identified"

both of those are binary, sure you can do more with screening and us agencies certainly would.

you can certainly make a 2x2 table with "terrorist" and "not terrorist" and "accept them into the usa" vs "do literally anything else"

both of those are binary, sure you can do more with screening and us agencies certainly would.


It's really more like a 4x4 table though. "Not terrorist." "Small chance of terrorist." "Moderate chance of terrorist." "High chance of terrorist." And your options are "Let them in with minimal supervision." "Let them in with high surveillance." "Let them in with extremely high surveillance and use them as an unwitting mole." "Do anything else."

That seems way more coherent than "don't let anyone in" to me.

After this whole grain in pyramids thing this theory is really gaining traction. I just can't follow American conservatives. It's like watching some kind of alien species debating. Although there are probably alien lifeforms out there right now who might be less weird.

I don't think Cruz knows what "infinitely" means. His advisers telling him not to say anything bad about Trump is...interesting.

Why does Carson think that in the past there's been sinister subterfuge by the Republican party?
