He would be allowed re entry if he was abroad when it was imposed but would have barred from traveling in the future basically making it moot that it was imposed while he was there.

I have been saying all along the ban, no matter where the guy was when established, wouldn't have mattered. If it was before he traveled he wouldn't have traveled there. If it was while he was there he would have been allowed back in. If it was after then it was too late anyways. Point being a ban on travel has NO IMPACT on terrorists that are citizens of the country they wish to attack.

Guess I just don't see your point of he wouldn't have travelled there if the ban was already in place, if being a Citizens of England would not have restricted his movement.

We have no idea what a travel ban new or already in place would have prevented/allowed. What we do know is that this man travelled to and from a country that we had on a banned list just days before he committed an act of mass terror.

You are free to go with it would not have mattered; but keep in mind you are speculating. Just as I would be speculating in saying it would have mattered.

As I have said there is going to come a time when folks must decide between securities and liberties when they are in conflict. Right now liberties are getting the nod.
