That's what the Transportation Security Administration has spent since 2007 on a program to scan crowds for signs that someone is a terrorist. The Government Accountability Office reviewed the program and found that there is no evidence that the tactic works. Yet, we are employing 2,800 people in this program, known as the Screening of Passengers by Observation Techniques (SPOT). The results of the program for 2012:37,370 passengers were targeted under the SPOT program, 2,214 were referred to a police officer and 199 were arrested.
A good use of our money?
