FOX News: Airports need Muslim only lines
Got a tip for a post?:

FOX News has showcased some really sound opinions lately. If Sean Hannity's suggestion that Israel should have just nuked Hezbollah wasn't insane enough for you, check out the opinion FOX contributor Mike Gallagher had when it came to racial profiling:
"It’s time to have a Muslims check-point line in America’s airports and have Muslims be scrutinized. You better believe it, it’s time."
Gallagher says this quietly at first, but the second time, when he says it loudly enough for everyone to hear, some of the audience members--evidently never having heard of civil rights or civil liberties--actually feel compelled to clap in agreement.
Credit should be given to Gallagher’s ‘opponent’ constitutional lawyer Michael Gross for giving the rational side of the argument and saying that it’s behavior that should be looked at—not ethnicity. Something tells me that argument is over Gallagher’s head
