REPORT OF INVESTIGATION

routine briefings and performance evaluations Additionally it was reported the BDOs were required to take a job knowledge examination every year Work was assigned to subordinate BDOs via a team sheet and two or three BDOs were assigned to teams The BDOs were usually rotated but sometimes the same individuals worked together due to personnel needs The purpose of rotating partners was to promote learning by exposing BDOs to other BDOs with different experiences and skills

BDO supervisors use the Performance Accountability Standard System (PASS) and technical knowledge and competencies to rate their subordinate employees The supervisors stated the number of secondary inspection referrals was not taken into account when rating the employees Several ofthe supervisors stated there should be additional training for the BDOs throughout their careers and a process to allow BDOs to exit the SPOT program without any negative repercussions The supervisors stated they never encouraged BOOs nor have they been encouraged by their supervisors to produce a high number of secondary inspection referrals

The BDO supervisors stated they believed none of their subordinates BDOs had profiled based on characteristics such as race ethnicity or national origin in the past No supervisor was aware of any BDO making a racially ethnically or national origin biased comment They stated that none of their subordinate BDOs was overly aggressive in trying to identify referrals and that promotions were based on merit not on the number ofpassenger secondary inspection referrals (Exhibits 79-89)

-~Os need a longer initial training period and additionaJ continuing and refresher ~stated BDOs complain about wanting more training- told the BDOs they will receive more training in the future - stated it was difficult to get more training out to the field because the training division only has 15 individuals to conduct training nationwide - stated there was one gray area in the SPOT program that relies on the individual BOOs judgment and ability to subjectively interpret behaviors T o remedy the situation The Behavior Reference Guide was developed ~ believes the manual helps to take the guess work out of the behavioral assessment ofpasseng~it 90)

DHS OIG contacted the Massachusetts Office of the Attorney General MSP and the Massachusetts Port Authority to identify any complaints or reports of racial profiling against any BDO at LIA The agencies reported no filings against any TSA employee at LIA (Exhibits 91-93)

REPORT OF INVESTIGATION

routine briefings and performance evaluations Additionally it was reported the BDOs were required to take a job knowledge examination every year Work was assigned to subordinate BDOs via a team sheet and two or three BDOs were assigned to teams The BDOs were usually rotated but sometimes the same individuals worked together due to personnel needs The purpose of rotating partners was to promote learning by exposing BDOs to other BDOs with different experiences and skills

BDO supervisors use the Performance Accountability Standard System (PASS) and technical knowledge and competencies to rate their subordinate employees The supervisors stated the number of secondary inspection referrals was not taken into account when rating the employees Several ofthe supervisors stated there should be additional training for the BDOs throughout their careers and a process to allow BDOs to exit the SPOT program without any negative repercussions The supervisors stated they never encouraged BOOs nor have they been encouraged by their supervisors to produce a high number of secondary inspection referrals

The BDO supervisors stated they believed none of their subordinates BDOs had profiled based on characteristics such as race ethnicity or national origin in the past No supervisor was aware of any BDO making a racially ethnically or national origin biased comment They stated that none of their subordinate BDOs was overly aggressive in trying to identify referrals and that promotions were based on merit not on the number ofpassenger secondary inspection referrals (Exhibits 79-89)

On November 30 2012 DHS OIG Transportation Security Specialist TSA Boston MA wh~ began his career wi as a Transportation Security Officer (TSO) - was promoted to uLIIVf UIl U J) promoted to -in Prior to his employment middot and he was trained in behavioral analysis After jo TSA SPOT program for airports across the United States

-~Os need a longer initial training period and additionaJ continuing and refresher ~stated BDOs complain about wanting more training- told the BDOs they will receive more training in the future - stated it was difficult to get more training out to the field because the training division only has 15 individuals to conduct training nationwide - stated there was one gray area in the SPOT program that relies on the individual BOOs judgment and ability to subjectively interpret behaviors T o remedy the situation The Behavior Reference Guide was developed ~ believes the manual helps to take the guess work out of the behavioral assessment ofpasseng~it 90)

DHS OIG contacted the Massachusetts Office of the Attorney General MSP and the Massachusetts Port Authority to identify any complaints or reports of racial profiling against any BDO at LIA The agencies reported no filings against any TSA employee at LIA (Exhibits 91-93)
