It was reported in the UK media that the intelligence service knows of at least 700 UK citizens who have gone to Syria to join ISIS. Most of the British public think they should have their passports annulled and prevented from returning to the UK.
In reality do you think this will not happen? I don't. I think MI5 will allow them back in and track them rationalising that this will lead to bigger gains (eg cells). The risk that they disappear off MI5s radar and potentially cause an atrocity is a risk MI5 will be prepared to take in my opinion.
Frightening isn't it!

Instead of running away, stay home and fight. Remove the threat so you dont need to leave.
By coming to our countries your just bringing it with you and the problem will never go away

Or unless it's a mass import of fighters who'll then be armed from the armouries that patsies are being manipulated into keeping.

A terrorist who is trying to sneak into a county like this is either to stupid or to poorly funded to worry about. Every major terrorist attack has been performed by people who fly into a county with forged paper work. If a terror group can not manage at least that much they are nothing to worry about. They do not need to sneak in unless they are incompetent.

Convincing paperwork isn't available to everyone.
For example I occasionally wear an Australian leather hat in sun or rain. My heart sinks when someone looks at my hat and mentions Crocodile Dundee or Indiana Jones. Do they not realise movies are fantasy?
How about you? Do you watch movies and allow that dross to enter your mind?
