Description

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) began deploying the Screening of Passengers by Observation Techniques (SPOT) program in FY 2007 -- and has since spent about $900 million -- to identify persons who may pose a risk to aviation security through the observation of behavioral indicators. In May 2010, GAO concluded, among other things, that TSA deployed SPOT without validating its scientific basis and SPOT lacked performance measures. GAO was asked to update its assessment. This report addresses the extent to which (1) available evidence supports the use of behavioral indicators to identify aviation security threats and (2) TSA has the data necessary to assess the SPOT programäó»s effectiveness. The report analyzed FY 2011 and 2012 SPOT program data. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.
