Maybe We Should Also Profile People That Laugh

This has to be one of the dumbest things I have ever read:

Don't like the way airport screeners are doing their job? You might not want to complain too much while standing in line.

Arrogant complaining about airport security is one indicator Transportation Security Administration officers consider when looking for possible criminals and terrorists, CNN has learned exclusively. And, when combined with other behavioral indicators, it could result in a traveler facing additional scrutiny.

CNN has obtained a list of roughly 70 "behavioral indicators" that TSA behavior detection officers use to identify potentially "high risk" passengers at the nation's airports.

[...]

But one addresses passengers' attitudes towards security, and how they express those attitudes.

It reads: "Very arrogant and expresses contempt against airport passenger procedures."

In addition to being profiled for carrying killer Pert Plus and bottled water, we now also arouse suspicion by having an opinion about the ridiculous three-ring circus to which we are subjected every time we wish to board a plane. And no, I don't care that there are 69 other things that TSA "officers" examine, this is just fucking stupid. I can't imagine that a criminal or would-be terrorist is going to spend a lot of time yelling and causing a scene over our ridiculous security protocols. You know who might complain about those same things though? Your average American. Innocent people. People who just want to get from Point A to Point B to see their family or go on vacation without a lot of bull shit hassle or what is increasingly bordering on unreasonable searches. I guess the TSA wasn't happy any longer shitting on your fourth amendment rights - now they want to go after the first amendment too.

I shudder to think of what airport security will look like in 3-5 years from now, because this shit will only get worse. And by then, we'll also be throwing a few more billion dollars at it too.
