Of the more than 104,000 air travelers who were plucked out of security lines and subjected to a more intense level of screening because of something suspicious in their demeanor, fewer than 700 were ultimately arrested, officials said.
Many more — about 9,300 — revealed something during the screening process that caused the TSA to call in law enforcement for a more thorough investigation.

If you get pulled aside and get asked who shot JFK, don’t say anything. :-)
Somebody shot Kerry?
Aren’t those numbers great? Around nine percent of the people these idiots plucked out of line had the police called on them. Somewhere around 0.68% of them were arrested. Anotherwords you treat 104,000 people like terrorists, call the police on 9,300 people of of those only 700 are eventually arrested. I wonder how many of those 700 were actually arrested for violations related to a threat to the airlines. My guess is that this wonderful program actually amounts to nothing more than a warrantless search, background check, and fishing expedition.
