...No scientific evidence exists to support...
...the TSA is "unsure" whether SPOT has ever led to the arrest of an actual, real-life terrorist.
Which probably makes this program fit in perfectly with everything else that TSA is doing.
- oldgregg 16y agoIsrael puts heavy emphasis on human behavioral screening and it's fantastically successful. It seems SPOT is a heavily watered down version. I'm sure all the expensive technology vendors will love to point out SPOT is a failure. http://www.forward.com/articles/122781/ http://www.forward.com/articles/122781/ Thankfully we have very few attempted attacks in America so we don't have the will to implement racial profiling. If it gets ever gets bad enough we will and it will probably work.
- idoh 16y agoI wouldn't equate the Israeli security with racial profiling. That's a part of it but it mainly involves asking passengers questions and looking for things that are out of the ordinary. I got stopped leaving Israel once and it wasn't because of racial profiling. I gave them my family's phone number and they called around and it all got resolved.
