Frustrated TSA agent leaks feds tips on likely terrorists; guess whats not on the list:

 

 

Transportation Security Agency guidlelines are perfect for catching sleepy people, people who get nervous about flying, or even people who like to whistle, but they dont do much good spotting terrorist.

 

That was the conclusion that led a TSA employee to leak the agencys signs for spotting suspicious behavior in an airport, according to a Fox & Friends Weekend report.

 

 

So if youre not a morning person, you may want to avoid early morning flights no matter how attractive the fare may be. If youre a naturally fidgety person, you may want to avoid air travel altogether.

 

These are just a few of the signs Transportation Security Administration agents look for to determine whether you may be a terrorist.

 

So, if its a 6 a.m. flight and youre excessively yawning, the TSA may look at you unfavorably and consider you a terrorist, Clayton Morris said on Fox and Friends Weekend.

 

Or, if you dare to complain about having some stranger feeling you up in public, youre probably a terrorist, Tucker Carlson remarked.

 

You know whats not on the list? Carlson added. Middle Eastern appearance.

 

The confidential checklist, called the Screening of Passengers by Observation Techniques, or SPOT, was leaked to The Intercept, an online publication launched by First Look Media. It came from a source inside the agency who had serious doubts about the usefulness of the program.

 

The Intercept reported:

 

The checklist ranges from the mind-numbingly obvious, like appears to be in disguise, which is worth three points, to the downright dubious, like a bobbing Adams apple. Many indicators, like trembling and arriving late for flight, appear to confirm allegations that the program picks out signs and emotions that are common to many people who fly.

 

No single behavior alone will cause a traveler to be referred to additional screening or will result in a call to a law enforcement officer (LEO), the agency said in its email to The Intercept. Officers are trained and audited to ensure referrals for additional screening are based only on observable behaviors and not race or ethnicity.

 

Other signs include whistling, excessive throat clearing, wearing improper attire for location, gazing down, exaggerated or repetitive grooming gestures and face pale from recent shaving of beard.
