Lt. Gen. Thomas McInerney: "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." Those words tumble down as if the very parchment of liberation underneath the founder's hands had never been. The general’s words, serious and harsh, plant their seeds in our ears as some seem to revel in their condescending power like children dashing to and fro through a lawn sprinkler stripping down to smiles as they go. It isn’t until an adult yells from inside the house that the children even realize they’re exposed. © 2010 by mark prime
