Expect to see a few lawyers missing their flights.
According to the Reuters news item “U.S. Expanding Behavior Profiling At Airports“, agents of the U.S. Transportation Security Administration will now monitor passengers at high-risk airports for signs of “stress, fear and deception”. Other signs of “abnormal behavior” are “wearing coats when it’s warm” or “acting fidgety or nervous”… Constitutional issues aside, this can’t be good news for lawyers. Most lawyers I know travel, are high strung to begin with, and can look menacing, paranoid or even slightly unbalanced just deciding what to order for lunch. Not a relaxed or “normal” lot. So let’s hope the TSA people receive the right training.
