Peter King, the Republican chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, says it's time to put aside "political correctness" and start looking more closely at people of "Middle Eastern and South Asian" descent who try to fly the friendly skies.
As Newsday reports, King says that if terrorist threats are coming from "a particular group, I can understand why it would make sense to single them out for further questioning."
According to the Newsday report, King has said that while all Muslims aren't terrorists, all recent terrorists have been Muslims. That depends on what you mean by "terrorists" and "recent," we suppose: Muslims didn't bomb the Murrah building in Oklahoma City, and Muslims didn't shoot up Columbine High School.
