Retired Air Force General Tom McInerney is quoted as having told Fox News audiences in the USA: "We have got to go to very, very strict screening, and we have to use profiling. And I mean be very serious and harsh about the profiling. If you are an eighteen- to twenty-eight-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."

Doubtless the anti-profiler in chief disapproves strongly of this unauthorized burst of partisanship.

Diversity is the key to economic and political evolution.
