Superbowl!
From Brittany Ballenstedt (who is saving my suddenly-overwhelmed bacon):
Federal airport screeners will be lending their eyes at this Sunday's Super Bowl, USA Today reports. Dozens of behavior detection officers from the Transportation Security Administration will team with local police to watch spectator's body language, facial expressions and demeanor to find suspicious people. Police are looking to guard against an attacker similar to the one who drove to last year's Super Bowl site in Phoenix with an automatic rifle intending to open fire.
Feel free to use this as a Super Bowl open thread, guys...

But law enforcement of any type had nothing to do with averting that attack in Phoenix. The guy changed his mind and turned himself in. He wasn't "detected" by behavior or otherwise.
