ISIS would love to stem the flow of its potential "citizens" and the best way to do that is to create a risk. They've told you this straight up. The last thing any NVA soldier wanted to do in 1975 after finally liberating their county was hop on a boat and kill more Americans. I'm all for progressive thought and helping these people but spending the time and effort on OHS inspectors is...let's just say there should be time enough for both in a society as great as this one.

Your missing the point. In terms of dollars spent per life saved I am arguing that any additional screening beyond what was planned before this event is a waste of money and could be better spent elsewhere.
And in terms of fear you should fear driving to work thousands of times more than terrorist attacks let alone a terrorist attack from Syrian refugees. The risk of terrorist attacks in Canada hasn't changed as a result of the Paris attacks.
The reaction of people to the Paris attacks while understandable is purely emotional and shouldn't dictate policy. And Canada's risk of terrorist attacks is driven by internal radicalization rather than immigrants.
Also even when you only consider people who go in the ocean the amount of people attacked by sharks is still Statisticly zero.
