A Washington Post story picked up by other papers around the country, like the Seattle Times, quotes John Reinstein, our Legal Director, about the use of "behavior detection" to spot terrorists at airports.
The article mentions that the ACLU is suing the Massachusetts Port Authority over a case in 2003 when an officer "trained in behavior detection" detained a passenger. What it doesn't mention is that this passenger was King Downing, the National Coordinator of the ACLU's Campaign Against Racial Profiling!
By the end of the year, the TSA plans to have 1,000 agents trained in this method and stationed at more than 40 airports.
