CNN Expert suggests some sort of profiling

Just heard Peter Bergen, author of the piece in the New York Times about how London exports terrorists on CNN's Anderson Cooper 360 Live.

Bergen, who judging by his accent is British himself, raised the sobering point, as he did the Times op-ed, that the US offered simplified admission to EU passport holders without a consular interview or visa application. But it would be logistically impossible and politically untenable to demand those safeguards for every European visitor.

But that's not insurmountable, Bergen told Cooper. For example, we could do some sort of profiling...

And then they cut to the next story.
