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. 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.

see spot run

they all ran after the ter'wrist

oh, see spot run
another fluff piece by the media.
just once i'd love to see the media really (and i mean really) run with a story. i mean, sh*t, they do it when someone gets hosed on an issue and can't get their money back so why can't they put some meat into a tsa story-like the tso who brought his gun to work and the fact that the tsa refuses to comment because of privacy issues yet, they can collect our personal information when we lodge a complaint because according to the tsa, they are exempt from the privacy act (i hope you're reading this tsa)

This isn't a new thing. Customs officers have been doing this since atleast 1986, when I watched them watching our passengers wait around for their bags. These officers were in regular clothes and pretended to be passengers.
Police, TSA and who knows what other alphabet agencies all walk around the airport looking for "people of interest".

We need to get about six of us together at the checkpoint and, simultaneously, break into the hokey-pokey or something. I think seeing the reaction would be swell.

.or even better, perhaps everyone opens their luggage and takes some random item (ipod, hairbrush, shirt) from their bag and hands it to the person on the left and then everyone puts "the new" item in their luggage. 5 hockey picks says nothing would happen-no spot-nik, no leo, no nuthin'

Larry LaPrise, the man that wrote 'The Hokie Pokey' died peacefully at the age of 93. The most traumatic part for his family was getting him into the coffin. They put his left leg in. And then the trouble started. Originally Posted by mikeef
