I would feel the same way!

After hearing about this "test" on the radio, I logged onto Google, but I couldn't find any information about this "hostile intent" device.
For the heck of it, I logged on to www.drudgereport.com , and there,
at the top of the home page, was the headline, FEDS TEST BLOOD PRESSURE MACHINES AT AIRPORT. If you click on that heading, it takes you to "The Wall Street Journal Online"....the article is in the Monday, August 14th edition....I imagine it's in the newsprint version as well.

"At airport security checkpoints in Knoxville, Tennessee this summer, scores of departing passengers were chosen to step behind a curtain, sit in a metallic oval booth and don headphones."

"With one hand inserted into a sensor that monitors physical responses, the travelers used the other hand to answer questions on a touch screen about their plans. A machine measured biometric responses - blood pressure, pulse and sweat levels - that then were analyzed by software. The idea was to ferret out U.S. officials who were carrying out carefully constructed but make-believe terrorist missions." What does he mean by, "U.S. officials?"

Geez....they measure sweat? They're taking away everyone's water bottles....who can produce sweat anymore? What if you refuse to go behind
their curtain? What if you say, "My travel plans are none of your damn business?"

The article concludes by saying, "U.S. behavior expert Dr. Ekman says projects like Cognito deserve a shot. He expects technology to advance even further, to devices like lasers that measure people's vital signs from a distance. Within a year, he predicts, such technology will be able to tell whether someone's 'blood pressure of heart rate is significantly higher than the last 10 people' who entered an airport."

Call me old fashioned, but my blood pressure and heart rate is MY business and my doctor's business, and no one else's business!
