TSA’s Secret Behavior Checklist to Nab Terrorists Exposed

Wearing "improper attire," having a pale face (drank too much the night before?) or yawning excessively (early flight?) could all get a traveler detained and interrogated by the Transportation Safety Administration, as these are all officially considered "suspicious signs" of potential terrorists.

According to a document obtained and published by the Intercept on Friday, TSA Behavior Detection Officers (BDO) have been trained to pick up on such signs, as part of the Screening of Passengers by Observation Techniques (SPOT), while airline passengers make their way through US airports.
