(AP) The Transportation Security Administration said Thursday that it is investigating allegations that screeners at Honolulu International Airport have targeted Mexican travelers for extra screening.
The allegations “resulted in launching an immediate and thorough investigation of the behavior detection program at HNL,” the TSA said in a statement, referring to Honolulu’s airport code. “Pending the completion of the investigation, TSA also provided HNL Behavior Detection Officers refresher training to ensure the program is focused solely on identifying suspicious behaviors.”
