In Brief: The TSA Has a Special Checklist Used to “SPOT” Potential Terrorists

A recently released document titled the “Spot Referral Report” reveals the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has a list of specific signs to look for when identifying potentially dangerous passengers. According to The Intercept, the document claims the TSA looks for mannerisms like sweaty palms, rigid posture and excessive throat clearing to identify potential terrorists. Introduced in 2007, the checklist is part of a program known as the Screening of Passengers by Observation Techniques, or SPOT.
