Our Minority Report style future continues to become reality as TSA fascination with mind reading programs produces more operational field trials.

The science journal "Nature" has learned that the DHS "Future Attribute Screening Technology" (FAST program) has been deployed for several months at an undisclosed Northeast location. It uses cameras, thermal and other sensors joined with a computer system to analyze a persons eye movements, gaze, heartbeat and skin temperature to predict if that person has malicious intent on their mind. Presumably, if the computer and its operators decided you had hostile thoughts or otherwise were thinking about committing a crime you would be flagged for additional screening and a BDO interview, refused entry or turned over to law enforcement.

DHS has produced a 6 minute technical overview video (this one is several years old) that's been posted online. It gets interesting at about the 3:15 mark. I've known about FAST for a while now but never thought they'd actually deploy it. Has anyone seen new or unusual equipment at BOS?
