This interview from the Radio America show The Gregg Knapp
Experience focused on a TSA behavior detection program that singles
out passengers for extra screening based on what the TSA describes
as suspicious behavior. Since the program began in 2006, over
160,000 passengers were pulled aside for additional checks such as
a pat-down search or an interivew. Less than one percent of those
passengers were arrested, often on charges related to drugs or
carrying false identification. The TSA didn't mention whether any
of those searched or arrested were on any kind of terror watch
list, or intended to commit a terrorist act. For more information
about what passengers can do to deal with TSA security issues,
please visit tsa.airsafe.org. There you'll a number of resources,
including extensive information on current TSA rules, advice on
packing, advice on traveling with duty free items such as alcohol
and perfume, and links to airline complaint resources.
