eyecue[/B], you know as well as I do that if SPOT had been responsible for detecting a single te**orist threat, we would have heard about it. Neither Nappy nor Pistole could have kept it quiet - nor would they have wanted to. They would have used it as justification for doubling down on the program.
Does the deterrence factor ever come to mind? How can you speak to what TSA head officials would or would not do?
