Lack of Entry-Exit Tracking Shows in Dallas Terror Plot


Hosam Maher Husein Smadi, the suspect in a plot to attack a Dallas office building, overstayed his visitor visa. The New York Times notes that eight years after 9/11, there is still no automatic exit tracking system in place so visa overstays can be identified. "Mr. Smadi, like many tourists who overstay visas, was able to fade easily into society and encountered few barriers to starting a life here, according to court documents and people who know him. He enrolled in high school, obtained a California identification card, landed jobs in two states and rented a string of apartments and houses. He bought at least two used cars, and even procured a handgun and ammunition."
