More invasive != more effective, or even not less effective. When you screen someone you need information to eliminate them. From Syria that information is in short supply. If I was presenting an argument in favor of allowing Syrian refugees in the US, I wouldn't try to claim that the screening process was highly effective. I don't think that argument can fly. OTOH the screening process on Syrian refugees might easily be more effective then the screening process on Syrian tourists, or tourists in general. Refugees (or all types) are screened more thoroughly then tourists, and its not like not like you need permission to stay long term in order to carry out an attack (tourists, or people on work or education visas can attack during the time they are allowed to be here, or they can overstay their visa).
