General Tom McInerney declared that the United States needs to "be very serious and harsh about the profiling." "If you are an 18 to 28-year-old Muslim man then you should be strip searched," said McInerney. "And if we don't do that, there's a very high probability we're going to lose an airliner." Watch it:
