Am I the only one who thinks this is a bad idea?

Behavioral screening?  Picking up “emotional strain”?  Frankly, if I’m an extremist (which, let’s face it, most terrorists are) I’ve probably been trained to remain calm and preparing for awhile.

BUT if I get a call that my mother’s in the hospital dying and get home right away, I DON’T want security stopping and doing a full-out psychological profile because I seemed “emotionally strained.” 

Sheesh, just long lines and normal stressors can make me emotional in an airport.  The “good guys” will be so busy sorting through the emotional mess of people who live in America these days that terrorists will waltz right onto those planes seemingly “normal!”
