Conservative pundit and radio host Erick Erickson says he's glad he didn't scoop up opening day tickets to the latest movie in the "Star Wars" saga.
"The Force Awakens" opens in theaters on December 18, but Erickson is happy he won't be anywhere near a theater.
"I'm really glad I didn't get tickets on opening day to see Star Wars. Seriously," he wrote on his website,
Erick on the Radio.
"I have no confidence in this Administration to keep us all safe, particularly in light of President Obama's statement today that there's really no way to stop this stuff," Erickson wrote on Monday, a reference to the terrorist attacks in Paris and the Obama's plan to stick by his plan to allow 10,000 Syrian refugees into the United States.
Many Republicans, and some Democrats, have expressed fear Islamic State (ISIS) terrorists could be embedded with the refugees.
"There are no metal detectors at American theaters," Erickson said. "I think I'll wait till Star Wars is less a threat scenario."
Timothy B. Lee, writing at Vox, said Erickson likely has little to fear in his local Macon, Georgia theater since most foreign terrorists "have no idea where Macon, Georgia, is."
