My concern is how those asylum seekers got released without authorities even having a clue of their potential actions -

were they just chucked out, given welfare,

or did they pass some kind of security check?

If it is the first option, even my "soft" approach to asylum seekers isn't this silly (other readers refer to previous posts), nor does it subsidise asylum seekers at tax payers expense (only for their period of detainment.

If it is the second choice, then obviously the system needs to be reviewed and tightened. Mandatory is another option but sort of integrates into my idea about security checks for release. Otherwise there is the stupid option of rounding up and deporting all suspicious types of people, Arabs or Muslim, violently anti Government and so on, that diverts resources away from the intelligence community who found this ricin stash (and who probably would be observing radical Islamicists and Mc Veigh types).
