Yawning, blinking and sweating ... hmmm!
Be careful the next time you have to go through TSA checks ...
The US airport security agency is facing ridicule after leaked documents revealed its checklist of tell-tale signs that a passenger might be a potential terrorist.
Despite its own report finding that the human ability to identify deceptive behaviour through body language is no better than chance, the US government has spent almost $1 billion on a programme deploying Behaviour Detection Officers to airport security.
The specialised agents of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) are taught to evaluate passengers based on a checklist known as the Screening of Passengers by Observation Techniques (SPOT).
But according to a copy of a SPOT report published by The Intercept, the stress factors that could see passengers stopped at security include arriving late for your flight, blinking too much, sweating and excessive yawning.
