Mind-reading hostility detector on its way to an airport near you

US Homeland Security initiates NEXT - A Minority Report like PreCrime division

device that takes a similar concept way, way too far. Here's FAST (Future Attribute Screening Technologies), a system the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is testing that measures facial expressions, pupil dilation, pulse/breathing rates, and skin temperature to determine if someone has hostile intent.

Testing the system with 140 paid volunteers, DHS says it's 79% accurate on hostility and 80% on deception. This is just creepy. Isn't there a law about search and seizure, privacy, anything? Never mind the U.S. Constitution, just protect us from evildoers no matter what, Big Brother. What if someone is just angry at a roommate or girlfriend? It sounds like the DHS should borrow a new name: the Pre-Crime Division, lifted from fiction to fact, right out of Minority Report.


US Homeland Security is not being too far off from the synopsis of the movie Minority report, it is developing a system to detect "hostile thoughts" in people walking through border posts, airports and public places. The movie showed a Precrime division in a future police force that is able to detect a crime before it happens, and then stop it right before it occurs. If this system is implemented in the real world, it could mean that Airport Security can shoot you before you commit a terrorist atrocity and thus save all the time and money cleaning up the mess at ground zero. 'Project Hostile Intent' aims to help security staff chooses who to pull over for a 'gently probing' interview. It uses sensors that can spot people up to no good from their pulse rate, breathing, skin temperature, or furtive facial expressions. In trials using 140 volunteers, those told to act suspicious were detected with 'about 78% accuracy on mal-intent detection, and 80% on deception.

Project Hostile Intent has now been renamed as Future Attribute Screening Technologies (FAST) program, to give it a more friendly and approachable image. So the next time you feel feel ill please don't take the plane to work, you don't want to be probed with latex gloves now would you?

  • I sing a song in my mind when i go anywhere anymore...

  • The patriot act is the first step to total domination, control over the masses by the use of fear, playing the word terrorist to instill fear into people so that they bow down in obedience.

    It is ultimately the peoples fault for not standing up against such atrocities, it is never to late.

  • These things can give false positives.

    What if someone was in a bad mood because they were just broken up with? Or just lost their job? Or simply had a bad day?

    The FACS (Facial Action Coding System) was taken and MODIFIED by the CIA. That means the actual research and science has been changed to suit their purposes. They could find someone 'guilty' who in fact was not.

    These are all measures to remove the freedoms of individual people. To make everyone afraid to travel. To control people.

  • us american women are going to get strip searched. we live in a hostile world. I predict some hostel going on. The government operated on me. I wish they would have taken the body so that I wouldn't have been so out of it. It's okay to do things to us. Nobody believes us, trust me. You think these are boring times? My life has been insane. I usually don't say anything...

  • This device is not intended to catch "Terrorists”. "Terrorists” and their government handlers plan for years to attack at just the precise moment when needed, (usually when a terror drill is going on paralleling exactly what they are going to do). A Terrorist and his co conspirators never go in with ugly looks and emotions, they are premeditated. ----- The only people this machine will catch are freedom loving patriots who are FED UP WITH THE WAY THEIR GOVT. IS TREATING THEM!!!!!

  • It's not accurate and would flag random people.It also violates the fourth amendment. The pantie bomber showed terrorists are not a major threat anymore and we should say hell no to any farther erosion of our civil liberties.

    I now laugh at AQ as they are not much to be afraid of any more but my government on the other hand gives me nightmares.

  • This is part of the concept for mass spying. While you walk in your day to day, you will be monitored with graphs and indicators that determine if you fit "terrorist" patterns. If you are determined to be such a threat, you can expect robotic servants of the state to cattle prod you into a special detention facility for behavior modification/re-education, if they don't just execute you for crimes the computer says you are about to commit.

  • If your eyes have never seen war rejoice. If you have never seen torture rejoice. In your innocence your heart tells you many things. Please understand that there are those that cannot seem to grasp the reality that there are those that find violence amusing. Violence is many things but amusing it is not. Please note that these security devices are not intrusive. They are scanners. All security personnel are in a secluded room monitoring or scanning for Threats of Violent Behavior.
