Homeland Security testing mind-reading terrorist 'pre-crime' detectors

Many times, technologies from popular science fiction movies have later blended with real science and technology to become reality. Deployment of just such surveillance technology, somewhere between mind-reading machines and a "pre-crime" program, is currently being tested against real life to remotely detect terrorists or assassins, to find people with malicious intentions.

So whether someone cut you off in traffic or you had a spat with your significant other, if you are having adrenaline-driven aggressive thoughts and you are in northeastern USA, you might quickly take a chill pill because that's where terrorist "pre-crime" detectors are being tested by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

According to Nature magazine , in an undisclosed location in the northeast, Homeland Security has been testing its Future Attribute Screening Technology (FAST) program which is designed to 'sense' and spot people who intend to commit a terrorist act. Critics of FAST have compared the system to the 'pre-crime' concept that was made famous in the film Minority Report . FAST technology uses remote sensors to detect when a person experiences irregular physiological properties like increased heart rate and darting eye movements that are supposedly associated with malicious intent.

FAST merges technology with behavioral science [PDF] and has been in development since 2008. According to the DHS privacy impact document, there are five remote sensors that can measure heart and respiration rates, and remote eye trackers that can measure pupils, position and gaze of eyes. There are also thermal cameras as well as audio to analyze pitch changes in human voices. High resolution video is used to analyze facial expressions and body movement. "Other sensor types such as pheromones detection are also under consideration." Previous FAST testing involved people passing through the system while role-playing that they would carry out a "disruptive act."

As TechEye noted , "DHS claimed the machine was accurate 70 percent of the time [and] the other 30 percent will probably get out of Guantanamo Bay in a couple of years."

DHS has compared FAST to lie detector tests, except it does not involve active questioning of the subject. The non-contact sensors measure sweating and the steadiness of a person's gaze to judge state of mind.

How to Beat a Lie Detector Test

People want to know how to beat a lie detector test for a variety of reasons. Some are guilty of something and wish to hide that fact. Others are just afraid of the reliability of the polygraph – and with good reason . The best way to beat it is to not take it, but if you must be tested you can learn specific countermeasures. These involve purposely creating physiological overreactions to control questions in order to make responses to the relevant questions less noticeable by comparison. In other words, if you normally react strongly to certain questions, then even the response that comes with nervousness or outright lying is seen as normal – and therefore not a sign of deception.
