Does a raised middle finger count as facial expression?
You have got to be joking. What is a "suspicious airline passenger"? I look suspicious on a routine basis.
Since WHEN is it a rent-a-cop's job to spot illegal immigrants or drug carriers? What is a "terrorism suspect"? How many have been charged?
Stunning
The program began as a pilot program in 2006 and has proven "very successful" in identifying suspicious airline passengers, according to TSA public affairs specialist Amy Kudwa. Trained officers have identified illegal immigrants, drug carriers as well as terrorism suspects so far.

I'm sure. I'll be the one carrying a copy of the Constitution and various books on how totalitarian regimes eventually fail.
Incidentally, I don't know how many "experts" here have recommended the Israeli system. I am not an expert (that would require training, I am just a genius- that's innate) but I can tell you that since there are three people leaving Tel Aviv every day on four airplanes, they have the luxury of going full bore on facial expressions.
I think it's been widely accepted that the Israeli model wouldn't work here.

I look disgusted every time I walk into an airport. And, it has nothing to do with terr'ism.
