I would say statistically, the number of K1's involved in something like this is infinitesimally small. I have no problem with them examining how to improve the background process, but resources should be allocated appropriately IMO. Otherwise it's more for show.

I believe as long as they employ locals in the consulates and involving them in the visa process there is always going to be problems with corruption and inaccurate data. The main driver being that corruption causes inaccurate or false data being used to approve visas for profit, being either financial or ideological. This problem occurs in almost all consulates to some extent, but some areas of the world are notorious for it. I believe our porous borders, the K-1 program and all the spousal visa programs will be the next avenues that terrorists will try to utilize more especially with the VWP and refugee programs looking at stricter guidelines.

Most K1s from those countries also take three times as along than say a K1 from western europe.

Ultimately, a background check or anything else can only pick up things people have done in the past. Either here or in another country, there's no way to catch people who haven't done something yet.

Many time's on the news you hear people say "he used to be a nice guy in high school" or some variation on that. Yeah, maybe he was. People change. I don't know how they can catch that first timer just gone over the edge person who's about to snap. I don't think K1 is a major area to focus on.
