erdos-bacon sandwich writes: "The Transportation Security Administration is crediting two of its officers with rescuing a kidnapped woman and helping capture her two abductors as they passed through a security checkpoint at Miami International Airport.

The two behavior detection officers, trained to spot terrorists in passenger lines, noticed the 25-year-old woman trembling and trying to hide facial injuries at an airline ticket counter. The woman at first said she was fine, but later broke down crying and said she had been kidnapped, the TSA said.

The officers separated the woman from her four travel partners, leading to her rescue and the arrest of two women in the group on kidnapping and other charges, the TSA said."
