So far, they have received just...

The program has an awkward title, Screening Passengers by Observation Techniques, but a clever acronym, SPOT. It has been tested over the last three years at several airports in the Northeast, including Boston's Logan Airport, where two of the 9/11 hijacking teams launched their operations...
...Howland are still searching for a name. Already considered: “4-Play” (scrapped because they’ll have five members), “5Haft” (the 5 is an S and the capital H is for Harvard!
