Significant shortcommings that ive observed with with managed inclusion include problems with the model used to identify passengers for this managed Inclusion Program. And the usefulness of having behavior that takes an officer to implement the managed Inclusion Program. And the reason i say that, mr. Director, is we have been asking for whatever science thats available relative to behavior detection officers and how that falls into this layered system of protection and unfortunately weve yet to get that report back from a scientific standpoint.
