A team of more than 3,000 "behaviour detection" officers hired to spot terrorists at US airports have failed to catch a single person despite costing the taxpayer $200 million (£140 million) last year. [More]What the hell--let's just put 'em all on a watchlist--something's bound to stick...
The approach is good, the training hopelessly flawed. They should have brought in El-Al and Mossad trainers. I don't know who they put in charge of training, but obviously they were not qualified.

And we learn this from the european press?
