Travelers going through security at Portland International Jetport may have noticed a member of the screening team who is neither looking into luggage nor sweeping people with a magnetic wand.

Portland is one of four regional airports that are experimenting with behavior detection, the practice of analyzing people's actions to identify individuals who might have something to hide.

Behavior detection has been used for years around the world, and the Logan program was based on an Israeli model, said George Naccara, federal security director at Logan. Screeners are trained to look for telltale signs that someone is too nervous for the circumstances.

"They are trained to look for stress, fear or some sort of deception," Naccara said. "They identify certain characteristics and pass the information on to local law enforcement."
