Of course. People have been talking about this risk on this board for years. With the "Know your shipper" program, shippers with a history are exempted from screening of air freight.
I quit, if the TSA expects me to believe that they will be able to interpret and detect facial cues indicative of someone under stress. Besides how are the going to tell the difference between,
1. Stressed because you hate to fly
2. Stressed because you have to get on a plane do a pitch in the same day
3. Stressed because it is your 10 segment that week, and you have pretty much had it.
Agreed. I get the impression the TSA just has not thought this through. Doing a good job of this kind of profiling requires extensive training. I question the TSA folks at the front line will be professional enough, competent enough, well-trained enough to do this right.
