The 9/11 attackers lived in the US on student visas. Some did pilot training in the US. I believe most of the recent European terrorists have been legally in those countries (and for that matter, the domestic right wing terrorists in the US, and the historical left wing terrorists in Europe)

I'm not sure how many terrorist attacks are done by fugitives. Some stuff is easier to arrange when you have legal status.

Also, cross which border illegally? The Canadian? People who need a visa to enter the US probably need one to enter Canada too.

Most of the European terrorists were even born locally.

I really don't get why getting our Fb accounts is so important, given they already have it (or should, if NSA/CIA did the job they were assigned to).
