A not-so Charlie Brown Christmas

It seems there may be a little extra kick in this years "holiday" punch...
Berlin (AFP) - The Islamic State group may have stolen "tens of thousands" of blank passports that it could use to smuggle its fighters into Europe as refugees, a German newspaper reported Sunday.

The head of EU border agency Frontex, Fabrice Leggeri, said that passports issued in war-ravaged countries such as Syria where conditions are chaotic mean that no one can guarantee "that documents that look real were actually issued by an official authority".
Well, no one except Justin Trudeau... who apparently possesses extra-sensory super powers not available to us mere mortals.
Asked about the report, the German interior ministry offered a similar assessment. "In light of the large number of entering migrants, it cannot be ruled out that among them are for example, criminals, war criminals, members of militant groups or terror organisations. or individuals with extremist views."
Might I suggest, instead of celebrating the holidays at a crowded public venue this year... a quiet gathering at home with friends and family. Just in case.
