  • Stop talking bollocks. :-)

  • 876543333234rtfg

  • It is already in place. Kids who fail kindergarten, 3rd grade, 6th grade and high school drop outs is how they decide how many prisons to build. Many educators have know this for years. It does not help that the private prisons lobby to make more and more things illegal. Got to bet FAST is a brain child of some private prison groups.

    This is like the movie "Minority report" where they jailed folks before they got a chance to commit a crime because they might commit one.

  • This is straight out of 1984. Winston Smith you were right...the Thought Police are here.

  • Good maybe they will throw their own butts in jail!

  • people need to start to shoot out all cameras or any type of public servailence systems, disable it all !!!

  • Big Brother. That is all.

  • Not doing it intruisively because it is on volutary basis until testing phase is done....

  • Poor all those who have conditons that make them appear nervous or up to something no good. Just because they exist they'll be thrown in jail because some machine decided that they're a threat to society.

    Someone at Homeland Security saw Minority Report one time too many!

  • WAR IS PEACE IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH FREEDOM IS SLAVERY

    Watch out for the thought police people.

  • Is the USA no longer the weathiest country in the world?

  • We wonder why the U.S. is broke?

  • Minority report, anyone?

  • Hey, is Ana losing weight?

  • They copied Futurama....

  • When someone says that bull crap to me about "oh do you want a terrorist walking in here.", "man with a gun", etc. I tell them that I've lived 16 years without dying yet. Theres plenty of guns, bombs, drugs, and other health hazards on the world.when I die, there will still be these hazards. Get over it. I'm not saying dont worry about people getting hurt, but dont try to call an ambulance before anyone has gotten hurt! Cross the bridge when you get to it.. Really, FAST sounds utterly ridiculous

  • alex jones is starting to look respectable

  • We need to preserve our civil libraries! Vote Ron Paul 2012!!

  • REMINDS ME OF MINORITY REPORT

  • This situation will be unstoppable unless we join TOGETHER and say no. We cant have anyone being lenient towards it, we cant have anyone being trusting of it; we ALL have to say NO!

    And the day we all finally do that, is the day we'll remind them that WE have the power.

    THUMBS UP

  • MInority Report: minorities cause problems. That's my report. LOL.

  • Comment removed

  • Predicting crime? Where ever blacks and mexicans are, crime is only minutes away.

  • Your bugging out way too hard Cenk over a science experiment. Your a ten, take it down to a two. Don't strap on your tinfoil hat just yet, instead let them do their science experiments.

  • This is some Real Minority Report shit 0_o

  • There would be no need to store information.

    similar to the polygraph test, they used subjects and personal information to establish the standards for a polygraph.

    But you dont need access to the personal info of the original test subjects in order to administer a polygraph once the principles are established.

    As long as the technology is used to rule out suspects (similar to a polygraph) rather than find them, it doesnt seem too nefarious.

  • @LiekABaus

    If people just walked around and did what FAST is supposed to do, guess a persons guilt,nobody would accept it,but because its a machine its suddenly okay for some.

    The problem with stuff like this is that you dont have to be guilty of anything to get in serious problems. Just someone within FAST claiming you are a threat is enough. It removes justice and the rule of actual law.

    Eg:

    A CNN reporter did a critical story on TSA. After that he was listed on the TSA terrorist watch list.

  • Psh....I heard they got aliens that been probing lot of pplz asses doing the same thing for years!! 0-= FTW

  • OPEN YOUR F**KING EYES!

    This world is gonna become a tyranical prison planet.

    I suggest everyone watch "THX 1138" a movie made by George Lucus that nobody ever talks about.

    Its set in the future where the government have taken over. Everyone looks the same. Blad headed.Your mate is chosen for you according to DNA. Your are given medication for everything even emotions. You have no name but a number and your not even allowed physical contact because of terrorists.

  • @Demov12 Or read Harrison Bergeron. As well as the Uglies, Pretties, Specials, Extras series. Harrison Bergeron is where the government has everyone wear masks if pretty, be weighted down if strong, and have implants in the ears to make the intelligent stupid. In the Uglies series, everyone is given an operation to make them pretty, but the price is a bunck of lesions on the brain to keep everyone happy but under control. Most books and movies that are set in the future have these themes.

  • Noway will this work in reality.

    Even if the tech is 99% correct in predicting if someone will do something bad it wont work because this is an excuse to arrest people the government deem dangerous... not too the people but too them!

  • So now they can determine "Pre-crime" And can assasinate american citizens without a trial, Put them together and we have..... You guessed it Nazi germany !!! Grats Big Gov lackeys you have your wish, Bush started the police state and obama is going to finish it.

  • hey anonymous there's your next target BEFORE they get the general public's info spread around the DHS's info so everybody knows how insecure the info is

    fuckin thought police jesus fucking christ

  • WTF!!

  • If tomorrow I walk into a building & it explodes because of a terrorist bomb, so be it... I'd rather that uncertainty over the certainty that I will no longer have my privacy nor my dignity in a future where nothing is left to chance or fate.

  • its nothing to do with terrorists. But everything to do with getting an obidient passive population. How else is the oligarchy gonna protect itself from the poor slobs. U jail anybody whois considered militant, or outspoken so they can stop any protests bf it begins. Jail activists, poor ppl, dissidents, "anti-patriotic".

  • i wonder when anonymous will go against this?

  • @superstrok99 They'll all jump on the meme when someone else comes up with it.

  • doubleplusgood bro, doubleplusgood

  • fear terror bomb death kill mass murder osama terror terrorist guns drugs kill rape murder death terrorrists islam, blablabla...only thing scaring me is the invasion of my privacy

  • this sounds very minority reportischlike

  • The people will put up with anything.

  • If this is used at an airport and people know about it. They will get nervous and fail to look not suspicious.

    Dont look at the camera citizen. Only terrorists look at the camera.

  • I could possibly choke a bitch in the future.

  • What if the crime I might commit, in the future, turns out to be legalized in that future? Such as pot smoking, for example.

  • from freedom to fascism

  • When I first heard about the Homeland Security department being proposed the first thing I thought about was how easily it could be turned into BIG BROTHER. Sometimes, I hate it when I'm right.

  • Could ALL the religious AND atheist freaks please find a video that talks about their beliefs and carry on their conversations there?

    It would make things much easier for those of us who want to read comments that are RELEVANT to this video post.

    ON TOPIC: Consider the possibility that FAST is being developed by Homeland Security in an attempt to justify their bloated budget. Also look at who gains if the tech is introduced in the lucrative airport security market. Follow the money.

  • Looks like the FAST technology is only "mobile" in the sense that it can be moved to different events or security areas, at least so far.

    It also looks like they are using it to detect criminal intent in the very near future, like the same day, or within minutes.

    Sounds like it won't work. It is based on movement of facial muscles and will not take non-criminal aberrant behaviour into account, including "inappropriate" facial movements by normal people with uncommon personality types.

  • wow. they better not actually get this thing off the ground

  • anna was right

  • This story is really bad.

    Sounds terrible.

  • a north east city? you mean NYC? yeah....

  • I know a sure way of preventing any terrorism acts, killings, robberies,... Just lock everyone up in different cells and don't let them out. They will be safe 100%

  • every day we lose a freedom ! its time for real change #OccupyWallStreet

  • holy fucking shit. george orwell couldn't have even come up with something like this.

  • During Cenk's monologue at the end, my mental image was of some poor schmuck going to a mall one day; sweating and nervous as hell. He's oblivious to the police officer tailing him, and when the suspect reaches into his jacket pocket the police officer opens fire, on the assumption of a weapon, and all that the man has on his body is the engagement ring he was bringing to propose to his gf/bf. We all get nervous in public.

  • Neurolaw - an interesting field, look it up.

  • Damn, ana's a woman

  • Ron Paul > FAST

  • Uh, wait, what? What was that about "now they are saying whats going on in mexico is a kind of terrorism"?... It is a kind of terrorism! So is what the islamic extremists are doing, and the christian extremists, and the white extremists, and the black extremists! Just attach the word extremist to a social group!

    If you use fear as your tactic to enact change or gain control, you are a terrorist!... Wait, i think i just described the Republican political party...still, the point stands...

  • Best "foot in the door phenomenon" ever

  • Excellent. We've reached the era of crimethink. The Ministry of Love is coming soon.  Ain't life grand?

  • I don't think FAST stands for what you're saying.

    I've checked THOUSANDS upon THOUSANDS of sources. The definition for "fast" is obviously a lot different than what you're saying. Just look it up.. (*cough in a dictionary *cough)

    Ok gimme my check now.

  • Gotta give it to Osama: he won.

  • "non-intrusive" is code for "we won't go out of our way to inconvenience you with the knowledge that we watch, record and analyse everything about you"

  • One way they could track the inclination of someone being more prone to commit a crime would be too look at thier Genes. The Maoa gene is the warrior gene which can make someone rage and kill someone w/o thinking twice. and people with frontal lobe damage have been shown to be psychopaths.

  • "Future crime"? (movie: Minority Report)

  • @FumingPoliticalPunk You need a program to help you detect horniness? Just do it yourself.

  • reminds me of the 'preemptive strike' ploy used during the Bush regime.

  • look at it like this,the sooner we get through the fascist 1984 phase of our society the faster we get to the sweet star trek phase.

  • Fine then, I'll just go back to the past and do my crimes there.

  • All the things it can apparently detect just sound so sexual to me... Eye movements, body heat, heartrate increase... Definitely an invasion of privacy.

  • damn. whats funny is that futurama has something like that. thats weird. i think they called it the future crime division or something.

  • Will this Technology predict when will be the next time I will Masturbate to a Redtube Porn?

  • You are being watched. The government has a secret system, a machine, that spies on you every hour of every day.

    -Person of Interest

  • minority report

  • FREEDOM FAIL!

  • This will save a lot of money! We won't need any police, judges, lawyers... a machine will detect all the potential criminals so we can preemptively lock them down in private prisons, then we can give all the money we save to the job creators! Win-win-win!!!

  • Minority Report, damn really I suddenly want to revolt, again. The idea is invasive as hell. You no longer need to commit a crime to be a criminal.

    Black People, "Damn!"

    All it does is legitimize prejudice law enforcement.

  • I love how they only try to defend us from the "poor" diy terrorists but never do a damn thing to try to protect us from the rich ones who do far more damage every day.

  • "Someone might have a bomb" seems to translate fairly often as "the executive branch wants more power --how do we scare the people into letting them have it?"

  • WTF?! What if you are a nervous person in general?

  • @MiPedoteTUMBA pretty much the same result you'd get with polygraphs: you're screwed.

  • @Rabboleth

    Polygraphs aren't 100% reliable. The guys from Jackass and other people have passed it while lying. So I guess socially awkward people are going to be bothered by the police all the time?

  • @MiPedoteTUMBA "Polygraphs aren't 100% reliable."

    That's why I said we'd be screwed. All they detect is stress, which could mean anything from a lie to just being nervous about being stuck in a cramped little room with big guys who think like rottweilers.

  • WAR IS PEACE!

    FREEDOM IS SLAVERY!

    IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH!

  • $10 says that undisclosed location was a Mosque in New York.

  • "Those who would trade in their freedom for their protection deserve neither."

    - Ben Franklin

  • @zooryanzoo123 The machine is detecting a belligerent, rebellious attitude which proves you are a potential terrorist. Stand down, Mr Franklin! This is my last warning!

  • Total fascism.

  • anna must have listened to alex jones last night....

  • Sometimes Ana says some really dumb shit, but she made some excellent points this video.

  • Comment removed

  • We are going to arrest you, not for anything you've done, but because you might...

    But, hey, if you called up TYT, you are the kind of person they're interested in.

  • OMG this is a waste of money. Plug. Pull it. The entire DHS shouldn't exist.

  • Wow... imagine the lords and kings of old only this time with the technology to enslave mankind... mind control next.

    The Terminators look cuddly now don't they ;)

  • MINORITY REPORTS!!! 

  • Walking down the street the cameras that you don't see

    are picking up the pictures and the sound.

    And when some stranger knows more about you than he ought to

    you might start to wonder how.

    Somebody's watching...

  • Tom Cruise, we need you.

  • @turo9992000

    Sorry you cant have him. He's with Xenu now.

  • @octaquan

    "nope theinnocenit suffer!! muwahahahaha this is goiod, and so we will arrest people for bs reasons why because it is good!!" -Some Fucking Fascist

    This is how these people think. I hate this shit man fuck why is the US so fucking paranoid!!

  • Science fiction. 

  • You forgot the last step; when those in power begin to use this process to arrest and silence those who would turn against them.

  • Once they start jailing people for their future crimes, an exemption will be made for police and soldiers of course. Cause state violence is always good violence.

    And could it be possible that this FAST device does not even exist, and they'll just arrest anybody they like and not disclose the 'device's' readings?

  • i wish this wasnt done in quite such a sensationalist way, but only because it lets people that are pro FAST dismiss it as such and put other rational people off believing what this show says. i agree absolutely that this is ab awful idea and needs to be scrutinised publicly.

  • "Lie detectors" don't detect lies. They detect nervous people. Or fidgity people. Or people with sweaty palms. How is this system going to be any different?

    If you want to detect lies or something as nebulous as criminal intent develop a brain scanner that can decode the electro-chemical thought patterns in our heads. Until that technology is developed, accept the fact that it is impossible to know what is going on in someone else's head. This will lead to a shit load of false positives.

  • What about the minority report?

  • you should see what I'm thinking now.

  • god dam ana's fine

  • New world order, come to Jesus for shelter and salvation.

  • You know the Victorians had this thing where they measured your head to tell what your place in society was.

    They called that a Scientific Theory too.

    Loads of weird things get tried out in the labs. Few get to productions

  • This is bullshit.

  • I have sworn upon the altar of God, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man.

    Thomas Jefferson

  • Awesome. I indorse this. But do it on bankers and politicians only.

  • You will ALL be enslaved by the 1% elite of this world!

    Resistance is.....FUTILE!

  • On a sidenote. . i will kill the Govt officials or myself before i become " ID Tagged ". . . fuck this crap

  • @pimpinnevaslipin If you get one of them you break even, if you get two of em you're ahead and they can never catch up to you.

  • What if your fantasizing about killing your boss in the queue - would you get hauled out by the Pre-Crime department!

  • fascist control! fascist control! fascist control! fascist control!

  • Ohhhhh ok. . . fuck the USA . . . this 1984 shit is becoming way too real. ... they are going to make us broke slaves(no jobs), who they will track down like dogs and throw us in jail for crimes you haven't even commited yet? This is like Judge Dredd or Demolition Man " type " futures.. . . i guess the jews in hollywood were right in all those movies. . . This is the future of the U.S. and thus the world later. . .holy shit NWO

  • I bet the first metric used by FAST sensors is skin color ...

  • @PatPowers1995 lol everyone knows a black baby is a crime waiting to happen.

  • @lazyorc fuck yourself racist.

  • @random69ism Dude it was a joke.

  • I'm all for the improvement of technology, but for shit like this?

    Fuck no.

    What a waste of tax payer money.

    So who makes the call of what qualifies? Sounds like a justification for wrongfully locking up vast majorities of the poor and minorities.

    "We're gonna make you all poor and depraved, and lock you up if you show signs of retaliating because of it."

    Fascist bull-shit.

    They already have your phone, finance, and internet traffic info.

    Wonder how these sensors go off during sex...

  • So FAST is basically “Pre-crime.”

    I wonder when the DHS will drop the screening tech and opt for producing precogs in its stead.

  • Here is the future...stick this on me and I will fucking end you!!!!!!!

  • Those Who Sacrifice Liberty For Security Deserve Neither.

  • "Under the spreading chestnut tree; I sold you and you sold me..." 1984, here we come!

  • fucking gov, continually fucking us in the ass, and we enjoy it

  • The Department of Homeland Security is the most corrupt, devious, and diabolical agency in existence.

  • Fascism evolving into FASTism

  • let's test it on our leaders and the top brass in banks and corporations.

  • welcome to FASTist America

  • Hostile Intent Detection - Automated Prototype Project aims to demonstrate real-time, non-invasive, and culturally independent, video extraction algorithms to identify unknown or potential security threats. The operational benefit is the increased ability to detect potential threats during secondary checkpoint screening. This project supports the Quadrennial Homeland Security Review missions of preventing terrorism and enhancing security, and securing and managing our borders.

    From DHS site

  • Comment removed

  • This is hilarious " Well that guy took drugs once"

    This is scary so basically DHS is a major fuck up US dept because apparently all their funding is based on more malice based anti-freedom, social control programs..wow..I'm amazed about this. So basically based on your computer searches, schools attended, jobs had, people dated, emails/text/phone calls your whole life will be kept in a file for future use by the Govt.

  • And WHY does this exist? And WHY are they testing it?

    BECAUSE THE PEOPLE LET THEM!

    STAND up you goddamn lazy bastards and DO SOMETHING!

  • lol @ all these stupid ass things being invented why dont they invest on jobs people and poverty instead of pumping millions of dollars into something this stupid

  • So how do they obtain the data? Through an implant? Or a video camera?

  • God DAMN! We are FUCKED FUCKING FUCKED!

    Fuck this country.

  • @GenerationXeroFilms Why don't you run for office?

    Do something about it?

  • @TOTCD Unfortunately I'm an atheist which means I'll never be elected. Ever.

  • @GenerationXeroFilms I wouldn't say that.

    You're 24. By the time you're 35 20% of the country might be agnostic or atheist.

    To say never is a weird thing. I remember people in the 90's saying we would never have a black president or a female president. We have a black one now. I'm pretty sure we'll have a female president by 2030.

  • @TOTCD : at present, only 50% of the population in USA says they "could" vote for an atheist. Before you see an atheist in office (who admits it, because some presidents might be atheists and pretend to be christians), you're likely to see a jew, a muslim and even a gay president !

    btw on demographics : there's already around 30% of agnostics/atheists but according to Eric Kaufmann's book, the fundamentalists (of any faith) out-reproduce the rest of the population.

  • @nickst0ne 50% is alot man. By 2020 that number will no doubt be higher.

    I would say minimum 60%. You'll c man. By 2030 we might have an atheist or agnostic president.

  • @TOTCD : 50% is very little. The exact numbers are: 48% would refuse to vote for an atheist (stable value between 1987 and 1999). This value reached 50% in a 2007 survey. In other words, the attitude towards atheists is degrading. And as mentioned earlier, with 50% disapproval, atheists are the most despised minority... much more so than gays , scientologists, muslims.

    The fertility advantage of the religious used to be counterbalanced by secularization, but secularization has stopped now.

  • @nickst0ne Okay but do you honestly believe that in 2020 it will still be at 50% ?

    Religion will become less of a factor in the US.Believe me.

    In the past nobody wanted to vote for a catholic.

    JFK became president. They don't want a jew.

    There will be jewish president.

    Times are changing.

  • @TOTCD : I believe that in 2020 it will be worse than the current 50%. Because the bigots (of whichever religion) hate atheists and breed like rabbits while the rate of deconversion (abandoning a faith in favor of atheism) is slower than what's needed to compensate the fertility of the religious... and this is not just my opinion but factual demographics: check Eric Kaufmann's book : "shall the religious inherit the earth". He has some conferences online about it on fora.tv or on youtube

  • Minority Report!

  • Everyone breaks the law, 100% of drivers speed. If you go 1 mile over the speed limit, that is considered speeding. So what now?

  • This should be used to help with therapy. This thing predicting future crime seems a little zany. Sounds like it could predict future mental-health changes. Rather than using that to guess if the person would commit a crime due to the change, why not use it to notify people they should get therapy? Hell, maybe institute free therapy. You'd know no one was abusing it because now you've got a machine to check them :P

  • Holy shit this is like minority report

  • I'm a big fan of TYT, but I think they aren't understanding what the program is. It judges if someone is nervous or not. It's not trying to tell if the person will commit a crime far in the future. It's trying to tell if they are holding a bomb that might go off on an airplane. Someone like me is easily spooked by authority, so it might produce false positives, but this is stuff that's regularly done in screening processes that are already established.

  • Lesson: Don't start to breath heavily when talking to strangers and don't get a boner when talking to children.

  • Freedom is slowly slipping away.................what will it be like 100 years from now?

  • If they do the test on me today .. They will find out that I plan to rape Ana in the feature.

  • I think until we get results and see if it's actually feasible we should calm the fuck down. Do we even know if it works yet? And if so, what are they going to do with the information collected? The only negative I see to this is if you were accused of a crime and they use that against you. It's not like, you take the test, wow you could be a terrorist, straight to jail! It would be like taking one of those internet tests and getting arrested because your personality matches Jeffrey Dahmer's.
