Of course - "TSA "behavior detection" is wrong more than 99 percent of the time."

TSA "behavior detection" is wrong more than 99 percent of the time - Boing Boing:
"Remember when the TSA rolled out its 'behavior detection' system whereby slack-jawed, water-confiscating security officers would be trained to recognize your 'micro expressions' and single you out on the basis of a twitchy eyelid or a sweaty upper lip? Turns out that over 99 percent of the IDs generated by the system are false positives -- less than one percent lead to arrests (and the article doesn't say how many convictions come out of those)."
