It's one thing to over protect your borders to try to prevent something but when they come from within there really isn't much you can do. You alomst have to be lucky to catch these guy by hoping they do something really obvious to garner the attention from authorities.
My question is, who is getting to these kids? Are they being brainwashed within Canada? At their mosques? You would think most of these kids went to public schools, did things like most Canadian youth, so where did the extremist influence come from? I think that's the real concern.

And Ive said it before, the biggest change has to come from within the Muslim community. If they are genuinely embarrassed by something like this, they should be reporting illegal activity, and fighting to take back their religion from extremists.
