Below is a video of an interview on FOX news of retired Lt. Gen. Thomas McInerney, who suggested the use of racial profiling to prevent a terror attack on an airplane.
The anchor stated, "G-d forbid we actually did that..."
Many Jews, when speaking about a worst case scenario, clarify their words with chas veShalom, heaven forbid or G-d forbid. We describe the worst that can happen, but we express our desire that we should never come to that situation.
When the anchor began by saying G-d forbid, I thought she was going to continue , that G-d forbid a terror attack should happen. But, her further words communicated that G-d forbid racial profiling should be used as a strategy to prevent a terrorist from blowing up an airplane.
