Hi everyone!

Ever have problems with the TSA while travelling or taking an airline flight as an Aspy? I was browsing a on-line investigative news site today and found some details of a program the TSA runs called "SPOT" that is one of the mechanisms they use for selective screening. You'll be very taken aback if you read some of these screening triggers with some of the different common traits people have here. For instance, inability to make eye contact or excessive staring... I have this on occasion, but you get a "point" against you for it. Too many points and you get to go to the special screening with the nice rubber gloves.... yummie.... Carry loose electronics? Another "point". Sucks to be me as I'm a ham radio operator & go to radio swap meets. Don't worry, there's plenty more....

This was publically posted by the National Journal... take a look, you'll be really surprised. I used to love to fly, but nowadays it can be so onerous...
