Behavior Detection Officers

TSA has deployed hundreds of specially-trained officers around the country skilled in detecting individuals exhibiting unusual behavior.

This highly mobile force works in all areas of airports, train stations, ports and any number of places with no notice. These behavior experts require no additional equipment and often work in plain clothes.
