If terrorist attacks can be prevented simply by screening the social media accounts of those applying to enter to the United States, the Department of Homeland Security should start doing it, according to a Florida Republican behind legislation to make it happen.

“In the wake of the San Bernardino attack, we learned the government does not screen social media accounts of foreigners seeking entry to the country. That’s pretty scary,” Rep. Vern Buchanan, the author of H.R. 4301, told the Washington Examiner. His one-sentence proposal in the House, which is co-sponsored by 24 of his colleagues in the chamber, would require DHS “to search all public records, including Internet sites and social media profiles” in determining the eligibility of applicants for U.S. visas.
