Mr Tuta holds that security officers are trained to be pessimistic when fighting crime, which will inevitably lead to some isolated cases of mistaken identity. But even with that, he adds that security officers must have spotted something with a certain individual for them to arrest and detain him or her. “Security officers have very little time to make a judgment on action to take in such situations. The analyst holds that security officers consider several factors before making the call to arrest or let someone go. Nobody will ever come out and say “I am a terrorist” so the security officers have to be very careful,” Mr Tuta said.
