TSA Behavior Detection, Airport Arrogance Screening
The TSA is utilizing Behavior Detection Officers (BDOs) to identify travelers who display "arrogance" or express contempt for the screening process. Critics argue that actual terrorists are more likely to attempt to blend in rather than draw attention through confrontational behavior. The discussion also covers the physical experience of airport security, including static electricity shocks from plastic bins.
