I don't see that much of a problem. I see this making us look tough on security, as well as actually making us (probably) a bit more secure. Not only do we get the benefit of the ADT sign in the front yard ( you know, the benefit of having the alarm system sign on the law is part of the protection you get), but we actually get to minimize our port contacts with a country that has not been all that secure wrt terrorism. Does it send a negative signal to Muslims in general? You bet. But I think this signal is a positive. This isn't about invading anyone- it says "If we find your government and it's citizens associated with terrorism, your entry in to our markets will be limited, if we deem you a risk." That's a message I can live with. I much prefer it to simply invading countries- and I think it might be a bit more effective, and a lot cheaper.
