Based upon the recruitment techniques, they get young American citizens to join their cause in Syria.

After training them, they could then be sent back, they kidnap an American citizen, behead them, and put the video on the internet. All within the borders of the US.

That's the real threat from ISIS, and it's a law enforcement issue combined with a foreign intelligence issue so these people who make it out of the country to join ISIS can be tracked if they attempt to return.
