I have been to a few leadership seminars with staff from PR and we had a great time

BDOs try to use as much common sense as possible

Its not for the BDOs to determine how much is there, but to report it to higher ups

It wasn't meant as a insult, but a possibility.

BDOs do not know what you have in your bag, what religion you are, nor do they care about your background or ethnicity. Behavioral detection has been around for a long time. Google it. Hundreds of books have been written on this subject. I have seen many here refer to BDOs not having the 6 month Quantico training course and therefore not qualified to conduct this task but nobody can really produce a syllabus for that course to compare. If you are having issues at the airport, it really does stand out.
