‘Amid the media furor
over the attempted Christmas Day attacks and a renewed political focus
on enhancing airport security, attention is turning to a technological
advancement that will have civil rights activists — or, for that
matter, anyone with a secret –seriously worried: Mind-reading machines.
“As far-fetched as that
sounds, systems that aim to get inside an evildoer’s head are among the
proposals floated by security experts thinking beyond the X-ray
machines and metal detectors used on millions of passengers and bags
each year,” AP’s Michael Tarm reports.
Tarm focuses on an
Israeli company called WeCU Technologies (as in “we see you”), which is
building a system that would turn airport waiting areas into arenas for
Pavlovian behavioral tests.’
