A Homeland Security Department program has allowed truck and bus drivers to be the watchful eyes of Uncle Sam.

William “Bill” Arrington is the general manager of TSA’s Highway and Motor Carrier Security Division, which trains those professional drivers who log hours on the road, to observe, assess and report suspicious activity.

He joined the Federal Drive to talk about how the program works.
