But this MCO policy may signal an inflection point toward using RBS to reduce screening, and it's becoming clear that TSA is worried about the bad PR it gets from overzealous screening.
FYI, Congressman Benny Thompson has recently requested that Pistole
cease implementation of the SPOT program and redeploy BDOs
to other jobs.
