This weekend, Retired Lt. General Tom McInerney weighed in on profiling on Fox News, saying that “if you are an 18 to 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 airliner.”

On Fox News, McInerney began by saying that the U.S. needs to get “very serious and harsh about the profiling.”

He continued: “If you are an 18 to 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 airliner.”

“If that group doesn’t like it, then what are they doing to stop this jihad against the west,” he said.

When the host expressed some hesitation that the U.S. should use racial profiling, McInerney argued that “it’s not racial profiling, it is profiling.”

He continued: “I do not want to racial profile. I want to profile on that group that we have enough evidence from 9/11 and other cases.”

“If we continue to become politically correct, then we’re going to have to have a disaster,” he said.
