I mean seriously...whistling???

Are these people demented?

These are the same characters who have come up with and still support the PreCheck nonsense that is nothing but an example of "all animals are equal but some animals are more equal than other animals".

The TSA SPOT checklist actually provides some insight into how being selected for TSA PreCheck LLL screening is directed.

And these same people want guns!

Can you share how? I printed one and it was very fuzzy and not legible.

I had my best luck printing it from here:

https://s3.amazonaws.com/s3.document...ral-report.pdf

Then I used a magnifying glass to read it. :D Will print it on 11x17 paper from work later in the week.

What about humming?

The TSA has recklessly omitted humming from its checklist! They might catch whistlers, while a terrorist could just hum his or her way through the checkpoint!

Also, there is no "comment" section for what tune the terrorist was whistling. Can you get a point deducted if you hum something patriotic?

Exaggerated yawning, Appears confused or disoriented, Does not respond to authoritative commands, strong body odor, -- yes, I am just off a transoceanic flight, so I am stinky like a skunk, I am falling asleep on my feet, English is not my first language, what do you want? Is this such an unusual scenario? Give me a break!

Excessive fidgeting, clock watching -- damn this long queue, I need to catch my flight!

Avoiding eye contact -- even a very mild case of ASD will have that.

Since the PDF is really hard to read, I've retyped the TSA Spot Referral Report as an easy to read & print document. Feel free to share.

A lot of it is me. And I am a peace keeper. That was one of the most stupid things I have ever read

Cool -- thanks very much. When I travel next month, I may fill one out on myself and just hand it to one of them. I wonder what the highest point total for someone has ever been?

While I think of it, now that you know these forms exist, has your lawyer requested a copy of the real one they did on you?

It only just got leaked. But yes, this will definitely be part of both my ongoing FOIA litigation and formal trial discovery once I file suit for the BOS incident. (That'll be within ~5 months.)

It's like a magic trick… not so impressive when you know the rather banal truth.

Mixed with a big dose of government interference with Constitutional rights. Think of how many of those items are explicitly tailored to painting anyone who objects to or is contemptuous of the TSA as a terrorist.

You're welcome. Remember, sharing is caring. ;)

I suspect that whatever it is, that record will get broken soon, when people start deliberately engaging in acts of protected political speech consisting of an assemblage of the perfectly legal actions on that list.

you're screwed if you have a mental illness or a physical impairment/disability where you have several of those 'signs' you're up to no good :rolleyes:
Why are the tsa even still going? its nothing but theater.
