MADISON — A congressional candidate from northwestern Wisconsin says airport security screeners should search all Muslim males. Paul Nelson, a Woodville Republican, issued a statement Monday calling for a "no-nonsense" plan for airport security. "Racial profiling is one way that we can cut down on security risks," Nelson said in an interview with WIXK Radio in New Richmond. Part of the interview was posted on Wisconsin Radio Network's Web site. "It's time to stop being politically correct here and be serious and tough on the war on terror." When asked how to tell what a Muslim male looks like, Nelson replied: "Well, you know, if he comes in wearing a turban and his name is Muhammed, that's a good start."
