edit to add:
another quote from the article:
The Department of Homeland Security, which oversees TSA, responded to the GAO that the behavior-detection program was eliminated before this fiscal year, and officers were integrated into the checkpoint workforce.
If GAO can count the number of screeners that are also doing BDO work was the program really eliminated or is this just a case of government deception?
