BOS *always* seems to be the guinea pig for whatever terrible pilot program TSA thinks of, and it seems that every pilot program "succeeds" and ends up getting widespread deployment.

BOS was the pilot of the first behavior detection program. And the "enhanced" patdowns were going on there long before Oct/Nov 2010. And now this.

It disgusts me to see the city that was the cradle of liberty abused this way.

And I hope that idiotic wiretapping law (or interpretation thereof) eventually gets struck down or repealed. Public officials should have no expectation of privacy when performing their duties in a public place, and should have no expectation of privacy against the owner of a house or a car they are in. If most LEOs were truly honest and decent, they would embrace citizen recordings for providing a record.
