They also deconstruct the "SPOT" (Screening of Passengers by Observation Techniques) program, which the GAO found to be scientifically unvalidated and a failure in identifying threats.

Concerns are raised regarding the lack of long-term testing for millimeter wave radiation and its potential effects on human DNA. The hosts argue that behavioral screening, as used in Israel, is more effective than technological solutions.

A specific video from the Savannah train terminal is described, showing TSA agents searching children after they disembarked from a train, which the hosts characterize as "submission training."

Meanwhile, a counter-terrorism operation in Atlanta involved scanning semi-trucks with handheld devices. The hosts highlight "Smith's Detection," a company producing high-powered X-ray systems capable of penetrating a foot of steel, raising health concerns for drivers.

Curry opted out of the full-body x-ray scanner due to health concerns, triggering a "manual pat down" and a swab for explosives. He critiques the new transparency of the scanner images, noting that they now display more anatomical detail than previous blurred versions.
