The Panopticon widens
Homeland Security's "Hostile Intent" detector "shows promise"
"sensors could spot people up to no good from their pulse rate, breathing, skin temperature, or fleeting facial expressions.
"We're still very early on in this research, but it is looking very promising," says DHS science spokesman John Verrico. "We are running at about 78% accuracy on mal-intent detection, and 80% on deception."
The trial technology was installed in a trailer because it is planned to be easily transportable, so that FAST trucks can appear at any sports or music event as required. They look set to become as regular a sight at such events as mobile toilets and catering trucks."
"Mal" intent is of course any intent that the people who are pointing cameras at you disapprove of. Naturally, not many groups in power are concerned about detecting THEIR OWN mal-intent and deception.
This is all just another good reason why the resistance of the future will need to be highly proficient in practices like meditation and breath control.
