The TSA's Infamous 'Behavior Detection' In Action: Mandatory 'Chats' About Every Detail Of Your Trip
or to travel outside the country, was one of the few situations in which U.S. citizens can expect more questions to be thrown your way. Apparently, we are to defend the borders to prevent terrorists from crossing national borders unhindered. In addition to theater security longstanding in our nations airports, TSA officials have launched a barrage of intrusive questions as they travel brochures state to another.
This is the first of two stories featuring the kinder, gentler and more intrusive TSA "behavior detection" system in action.
More on the Blog of Rights of the ACLU, Devon Chaffee writes about his most recent experience going through airport security in Burlington, Vermont:
The agent turned to me with a smile that was a little happy, even for my taste, since the early hour. "So where are you people doing?" he asked forcefully.
I like to think I'm a good person, I told him, expecting a brief heat exchange harmless Washington DC and the scourge of Capitol Hill impasse. Instead, the agent responded to my answer with a barrage of questions about where we stayed in Vermont, how long we traveled, and he went there. I could feel a suspicious unintentionally slip on my face. New England in me shouting "I know this person from a hole in the wall, then do not give him details on your family vacation!" And yet it seemed I expressed discomfort, questioning became more persistent agent, we continue along the line, I grilled mercilessly on our vacation plans and status of luggage.
Here is another chat session mandatory, which derailed much faster:
Maybe the TSA was just being polite? The husband of the writer suggests both. Although the word "friend" rarely, if ever, been used in the same sentence as "the TSA agent," there is always a small chance that it is just a little humanity Welcome showing through the facade informal.
Here's the problem, though. It is almost impossible for the average human being to speak normally with someone who has the authority to detain indefinitely or not ruin your travel plans for a number of nebulae "violations". There is no such thing as a trivial matter or friends when it comes to an agency with a reputation for acting irresponsibly and ignorantly vindictive, depending on the situation. Nobody
never
feel comfortable simply distribute additional personal information
no matter how anecdotal
someone you can use
all
faux pas as an excuse to search, arrest any person or other disadvantage
and
all.
Steve Gunn, former editor Muskegon Chronicle who now works for the Education Action Group, wrote in the pages of his former role:
"I go home," I replied.
Then she wanted to know where his house. That's when the alarms go mental and I realized that I had been asked by Big Brother drag. I asked why the federal government should know where he was and what he was doing. He explained that the questions were part of a new value "pilot program."
