Putting aside the very serious issues of ineffectiveness and cost for a moment, my concern with the program is the potential it has to entrap the innocent. It creates the necessity of proving ones innocence by proving that they are not something the BDO thinks that they are. This can be quite difficult at the airport where one has few of the resources at their disposal to prove a positive, much less the resources of the near impossible task of proving a negative.
