During my trip to CLE, I encountered one of the bdo's. I am a white middle aged man, I am very much at home in an airport having flown as much as I have over the years who has no intent to cause harm to anyone. After I cleared security I was enjoying a cup of coffee nearby and was in a good mood having had a smooth trip thru the checkpoint when one of these highly trained

bdo's with the skills that you say they have been taught

approached me.
BDO: Good Morning sir, are you meeting someone today? (note I was in the secure area)
ME: No
BDO: So your flying out today?
ME: Yes
BDO: Where are you flying to?
I responded by not saying anything to her, gathered up my belongings and walked away in the opposite direction.
Yep, I sure do feel safe knowing highly skilled and trained bdo's like this one are on duty
