Every time a British citizen shows up in Syria fighting for ISIS, the government is criticized heavily for letting someone slip through. It makes the whole country look bad and the people demand that something be done about it. Any protocol which effectively stops people from joining ISIS will have some false positives, and if the consequence of being a false positive is a fifteen-minute interview, then I'm not sure I can find it in myself to be outraged.
If that's an extreme conservative view then stick a toupee on me and call me Trump, I guess. :P

Keep Calm, Carry On when bombs are falling makes the country look strong. There are far more effective methods to stop extremists. This is just looks stupid.
