Thumbs down BDO's at SFO - News Article

I'm finally back - been without Internet for the past few days and have A LOT to catch up on. Anyway, caught this article via TSA's website and saw a couple things that bothered me. Here ya go.

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- When you go through airport security, you know screeners are checking your carry-on's for weapons. But did you know some specially-trained officers at San Francisco and Oakland airports are scrutinizing your face, gesture and body. They're looking for the terrorist among us -meet behavior detection officers.
They are not your normal screeners. Daryl Prince and Donald Richardson are a team; specially-trained behavior detection officers to prevent passengers with criminal intent from getting on a plane.

"It's a science and an art form put together," said Richardson.

"We just observe behavior for involuntary physical and physiological things they might do when anybody has a fear of being discovered," said Prince.
Bolding emphasis mine.
