News Analysis: Airline Passengers’ Behavior Screening is of little value. The United States General Accounting Office has determined the Process of “Next-To-No-Value”. All too often, Important Criteria in establishing such a methodology may be ignored. As examples: “Are passengers exhausted and are acting differently because of this?” or “Are they irritable because of incessant crying by a baby during their flight?” or “Did the Airline Food ‘not agree with them?”. These simple Realities of Flight Situations occur daily. Would A Transportation Security Agency [TSA] Officer be aware of these Conditions Precedent to his first sight of a passenger at an airport? Absolutely not. It is highly likely that these ‘TSA’ “Behaviorists” place little value on such realities anyway.
Many people are of the firm idea that the Overwhelming Amount Of Money spent on “Airport Security” is in reality a “Job Employment Project” by the U.S. Federal Government. ‘TSA’ employees would be considered ‘Unemployed’ without their hire by this Agency [and be shown as such on Federal Labor Statistics]. This reality would be of great embarrassment to the ‘White House’ in Washington, D.C. of course.
One must ask: For the Billions of Dollars spent EACH YEAR on “Airport Security” for “Catching ‘Terrorists'” [as this Federal Program was initially touted], how many REAL “Terrorists” are captured by ‘TSA’, EACH YEAR?
A Government can Ill-afford to Squander Away Scarce Monies, especially when it has a $17,000,000,000,000.00+ Deficit on its books. Reality.
