McInerney Calls for All 18-28 Year Old Muslim Men to Be Strip Searched

From Crooks and Liars:

This guy is a fucking idiot!

Former Lt. General "Goes There": Calls for all Muslim men between 18-28 to be strip searched:

A recent FAUX News Saturday guest, retired Lt. General Thomas McInerney offered a solution to terrorism on American airliners, religious profiling: "If you are an 18-28-year-old Muslim man then you should be strip searched. And if we don't do that there's a very high probability we're going to lose an airline." McInerney's solution is many things (swift and decisive, for instance), but is primarily ignorant of two portions of the US Constitution, The first and fourth amendments.

The FAUX anchor implied that such violations would, and rightfully so, cause unrest: "That's just not going to go over, not in this country," she told McInerney, who simply declared that religious freedom and protection from such profiling through illegal searches were "part of the problem".

As Bob Cesca noted... what could possibly go wrong? Even the Faux newsmodel Julie Banderas was freaked out by the suggestion. I would like to know how the general would determine just who is a Muslim and who is not?

*****

Cause 'unrest' - that is not the term that would apply here.
