Sorry, I didn't really intend to play investigative journalist myself. That was sloppy. My question is whether or not SPOT was created in a push or pull manner, and who benefited from the contract. To me, that's a critical part of the story. Why did we blow a billion dollars on racial profiling? How did the TSA decide to allocate the funds, and on what basis? There is an industry of creating jobs for contracts, and vice versa. My guess is that SPOT was conceived in such a manner.
