Yeah and one will notice that there are none of the top professional poker players who are close to 100% at this even when playing with the general public and celebrities. This should tell someone something. Then again we are still relying on polygraphs.

I am going to make a prediction that their behavioral profiling training comes from high stakes Poker players. Not saying that this would be good or bad, but simply that I am willing to bet that this is where they may gained the knowledge of behavioral facial ticks he speaks of.

Wow, Kip Hawley really knows what he’s doing! He sounds so knowledgeable and has an answer for every single question that makes everything make sense! I forgive the TSA for being irritating asshats, because this interview made me realize that they are indeed professional and well trained.

Aside from the unfortunate facts that they are not professional…nor well trained.

Ah well.

At least he has some talking points memorized. Someone give that boy a raise!

KH: We use a system of behavior observation that is based on the science that demonstrates that there are certain involuntary, subconscious actions that can betray a person’s hostile intent.

Gee, isn’t that the same science that the government uses to justify its reliance on polygraphs as a screening tool for sensitive positions?

For instance, there are tiny — but noticeable to the trained person — movements in a person’s facial muscles when they have certain emotions.

Yep, Kip, and anyone wanting to evade this method could have a couple of Botox treatmeants and have nary a twitch.
