ISIS or formally known as the Islamic State has the spotlight because of the videos of numerous executions, the United States face a far more further headache. The group's nucleus would be the Khorasan group who are veteran al-Qaida militants are still heavily affiliated with the al-Qaida. "But the Khorasan militants did not go to Syria principally to fight the government of President Bashar Assad, U.S. officials say. Instead, they were sent by al-Qaida leader Ayman al-Zawahiri to recruit Europeans and Americans whose passports allow them to board a U.S.-bound airliner with less scrutiny from security officials"(1). This brings a far more severe threat to the United States than ISIS because by the recruiting from the Khorasan, the United States could possibly be caught by surprised and when they are not prepared. "In addition, according to classified U.S. intelligence assessments, the Khorasan militants have been working with bomb-makers from al-Qaida's Yemen affiliate to test new ways to slip explosives past airport security. The fear is that the Khorasan militants will provide these sophisticated explosives to their Western recruits who could sneak them onto U.S.-bound flights"(1). Considering this intel the United States should be at the edge of their seat trying to find a conclusion to this jigsaw puzzle. If the Khorasan provide the recruits with these non-detectable bombs which allows them to get past airport security then the United States is in trouble and should immediately put the ISIS situation on hold until this far more threatening problem is brought to rest.

This article finally proves to the citizens and the government of the United States that they are not untouchable and they have a weakness and a loop hole just like every other country. What the United States needs to do is find a solution to this issue that brings alarm and concern to the people who live in the United States. Airport security should be upgraded so bombs that tamper with the security do not exist and are not to worry about. The U.S. needs to fix this and put a stop to it, immediately.
