TSA
Behavior Detection Program At Boston Airport
For
the next two months at Logan International Airport in
Boston, passengers will be casually greeted by
Transportation Security Administration officials. But
the officers aren't there for a friendly
"hello" -- they're trying to deter and
detect passengers who pose a risk to aviation
security. As part of the TSA's new behavior-detection
pilot program that started this week, screeners are
engaging each passenger in Terminal A in casual
conversation in an effort to detect suspicious
behavior. After passengers provide their boarding pass
and ID, they have to answer a few questions from TSA
officers who have received two weeks of training.
