TSA 'Behavioral Officers' look for the obvious

Did this article have a point or was it just jumping on the 'complain about the TSA' bandwagon because the writer was stuck with a deadline?

Do you not approve of asking nervous anxious passengers to go through the same level of screening that is also randomly applied to everyone?

This program is directly resulting from the fact that at the moment additional screening must be 100% random to avoid even the shadow of profiling. As it stands without this program, the little old lady and the 6 year old kid may be randomly selected, while the middle-aged man in a trench coat with the shifty eyes gets only the metal detector.

Do you want air travel to be safe?
Do you want professionals to try to pick out people who may be threatening?
Do you want complete random selection for thorough screening?

Next time start with a thesis and then try to prove it rather than just regurgitating whiney complaints.
