What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

TSA readying new behavior detection plan for airport checkpoints - Josh Gerstein - POLITICO.com: "The federal government is planning to introduce new behavior detection techniques at airport checkpoints as soon as next month, Transportation Security Administration chief John Pistole said Thursday.

TSA already has 'behavior detection officers' at 161 airports nationwide looking for travelers exhibiting physiological or psychological signs that a traveler might be a terrorist. However, Pistole said TSA is preparing to move to an approach that employs more conversation with travelers—a method that has been employed with great success in Israel."

Well, for one thing, TSA offcials are not Israeli officials.
