1:25:57 The uh... Hello? Hello?! Hello is- Before it's a crime, It's precrime! That's right. We have the behavioral detection officers. Alright, let's switch gears now and talk about airport security because it is about to undergo another change. The TSA is about to borrow a page from Israel's airport security by profiling passengers with behavior detection techniques but can this method actually be effective here in the United States? This is great by the way this thing-this is one of these ex DHS guys who of course works for uh you know for a company that selling stuff
1:26:40 Before this I have to tell you someone else at the meetup is an architect and she Is working on re-architecting several large airports, I won't tell you which ones. But do you know that they have to reinforce the floors where these body scanners stand on because they're so heavy? Yeah! And like really?! These things are so heavy they have to change the actual infrastructure of every airport otherwise it'll crash them through the floor and what's in them she said cancer Nice. Alright, so more behavioral detection stuff. Joining me now from DC is Robert Liskowski a former assistant secretary at the Homeland Department of Homeland Security that is he has also consulted Oh really? No kidding! Consulted what do you mean? On airline security. She's happy. Yes, yes. Good morning to you Mr. And by the way she's getting less hot they gotta change her look Who is it? What's-her name uh Greta no Gretchen Gretchen from Fox
1:27:43 Oh, Gretchen? Yeah she's not... Nah her hair is like She got a helmet on now. If you and I were in there consulting we'd chan- Would she be out?! Gretchen! I'm sorry You've passed MILF stage you're out Need some hot young blood here They got some in Austin. Good morning Gretchen, how are you? I'm doing just fine so the idea that they're gonna start looking at behavioral techniques or attitudes of people or what exactly do think they're going to be looking at a potential passenger How is that read huh? What exactly do you think they're going to... She botched that completely Horrible read
1:28:23 Well, this is a good tool. It's a good tool! This is a tool? It was a technique. Do they know the difference between a technique and a tool? Well when it's a guy, its'a tool. When it's a girl, it's a technique. He's a tool. Right. It will allow TSA and other law enforcement agencies to be able identify or potentially detect those people whether they're criminals or terrorists that are going to try and exploit our vulnerabilities in our systems. But how will that happen? I mean the TSA officers are gonna be called behavior detection officers... This is what i have, the documents on the BDOs At 161 airports so are we to assume these are the people who are checking our IDs and then they might just get into a little bit more conversation with us before we go through security?
1:29:05 This gets so good. So, this is... it's not going to be obvious at all that you're being profiled watch. It works! Yeah that's right its a layered approach they are looking for all sorts of behaviors they are going to identifying people in line or in the airports that are looking..that are acting suspiciously and maybe uncomfortable and they'll spot them look at them What if I have to poop when I'm standing in line? I'll be pulled out and profiled. Yeah, and you'll be pooping in your pants because it takes forever You look pretty uncomfortable son. And i got a poop officer In line They'll talk to them engage them in conversation Look for certain traits or characteristics that might indicate they should be selected How about my Tourette's? That's going to be a dead giveaway
1:29:44 Hey, this guy's jerking his head all over the place. You gotta pull him... You're doomed! I have to poop and i'm jerking my head? I am doomed for further screening. Alright so let me ask you this will they just take an already employed TSA person who up until this point their job has been you know to look at that screen and to look at IDs and suddenly they're going to be a behavioral expert Well, I have the training manuals as well. You know how much training the behavioral detection officer will go through? Probably not as much as we'd hoped. Four and a half hours That's it. Four and a half hours, of which 30 minutes is like... you know like... Hi my name is Gary. Hi! My name is Gary can I talk to you for a minute? You look rather uncomfortable why don't you step out of the line sir we just want have a little chat
1:30:38 Well, I think this is like... Four hours of training and that's gonna make you an expert? Oh yeah. This is a disaster waiting to happen That's why they gave me the docs The process isn't well publicized but clearly there are some things that need to be done No! By the way these docs actually say top secret not to be shared with anybody I'm going to bury it in that ridge I made on the road and cover it up Get rid of it.
1:31:16 This requires a significant amount of training. It requires people who are capable of using principles but not jumping to conclusions that are going to be, you know, using reasonable approaches to identify potential terrorists. Right so the TSA chief John Pistol said this I'm very much interested in expanding the behavior detection program in a way that allows us to have more interaction with the passenger just from a discussion which may be able to expedite the physical screening aspects Hey would like a cup of coffee? Hey come over sit down So I'm gonna have a little chat with you. Who won the 1927 World Series? Uh, the Yankees! Good one! Yeah... Well that was the question they used in World War II so that's how i know the answer. That's what I'm thinking this sounds more like something they'd do at prison camp. You know try to catch the Jew. It's messed up Anyway, so I am going to commit these documents to memory before I eat them. They were so cool though. I love when people say, you didn't meet me, you don't know me
