I said the pledge every day in school for my entire education...so in your eyes I'm 100% loyal to this country, no questions asked?  Damn, I wish I thought of that when I had to undergo a 6 month background investigation to get a position of security with the government.  

Maybe that should be the only hurdle we place in front of people trying to get security sensitive positions.  Hello Mr. Akbar, I see you are from Iran and have ties with terrorist organizations, BUT you stood and said the Pledge of Allegiance when you were forced to do so SO I don't see any reason you can't be trusted!
