Have you ever looked at the ground while standing in line at the airport? Well, you're probably a terrorist then.

Fidgeting, whistling, sweaty palms. Add one point each. Arrogance, a cold penetrating stare, and rigid posture, two points.
These are just a few of the suspicious signs that the Transportation Security Administration directs its officers to look out for — and score — in airport travelers, according to a confidential TSA document obtained exclusively by The Intercept.
The checklist is part of TSA’s controversial program to identify potential terrorists based on behaviors that it thinks indicate stress or deception — known as the Screening of Passengers by Observation Techniques, or SPOT. The program employs specially trained officers, known as Behavior Detection Officers, to watch and interact with passengers going through screening.
The document listing the criteria, known as the “Spot Referral Report,” is not classified, but it has been closely held by TSA and has not been previously released. A copy was provided to The Intercept by a source concerned about the quality of the program.
The checklist ranges from the mind-numbingly obvious, like “appears to be in disguise,” which is worth three points, to the downright dubious, like a bobbing Adam’s apple. Many indicators, like “trembling” and “arriving late for flight,” appear to confirm allegations that the program picks out signs and emotions that are common to many people who fly.

^ that was entertaining - I was never a fan of that type of monument (who really is?), but this was perfectly apt, and pretty funny I found :up:

It is actually pretty serious as it walks through some of the issues.

For the record, my dick has never been photographed.
However, if the NSA is truly that desperate for cheap thrills... I will - as part of my patriotic duty - post pics to the forum of their choice for $3,000,000 (tax free). Payment in Bitcoin preferred: 1HQXMMLwvqNH4jrJD7YVMeLx9wqDgSswsi
