It's behavioral profiling!

All a TSA officer has to do is say a person "behaved suspiciously".

I think profiling has to be done carefully. Many dark skinned law abiding people will be OK with profiling for the greater good but if they keep repeatedly being stopped then it does lead to resentment. Perhaps there should be ways for people in advance to go through security procedures without publicly being singled out ( which breeds resentment the most). Lets be honest no Christian Hispanic or non-muslim Indian has ever committed a terrorism offense ( that I know of). There are also many Jewish Israelis of arab descent. I say profile away but don't try to publicly embarrass people every single time they fly especially if they are of a faith that is not hostile to America.

Is "behaved suspiciously" going to be shortened to BS?

I like it!
