Give me a break, almost all cops do this. Post 9/11 we trained cops all over to be looking out for suspicious behavior.
Say if you have an autistic family member who doesn't like crowds and you all have to fly for the holidays. The airport makes him nervous so he starts pacing. The pacing is clocked as "suspicious behavior" and now the whole family will spend 24 hours trying to convince the airport cops that he is fucking autistic and this whole situation is stressing him worse and making him act out more.
Not to minimize how serious it is, it's just it's way more widespread and problematic than this article even gets into.
That's why the TSA is always changing their process and being assholes. Apparently "looking around" and "making eye contact" are suspicious behavior. One of the agents was being an absolute dick to my wife, I was already waiting to go, he turns around to start doing the same thing to me but I was already standing there waiting on him. The guy looked absolutely shocked that I was looking straight at him in the eyes while I was pissed off.
