Israeli Mind-scanner May Take Over US Airports

As part of stringent measures to beef up airport security, US authorities may use an Israeli-made mind-reading scanner that allegedly predicts whether a passenger is a potential threat or not.

The Transportation and Safety Administration (TSA) and the Homeland Security are considering the installment of a controversial mind-reading system, that was recently developed by the Israeli-based WeCU Technologies, in all American airports, AP reported on Thursday.

The device, which functions by blending high computer technology and behavioral psychology, is essentially designed to "get inside the evildoers head" without the subject's knowledge and prevent him or her from placing the lives of fellow travelers in jeopardy.

According to WeCU Technologies CEO, Ehud Givon, people cannot help reacting mechanically to recognizable images that suddenly appear in unfamiliar places.

With that in mind, the system aims to project images onto airport screens, such as symbols affiliated with a terrorist group or signs only a terrorist would recognize.

Givon said while the WeCU system would use humans to do some of the observing, it would rely largely on concealed cameras or covert biometric sensors that can distinguish a rise in body temperature and heart rate, however slight it may be.

"One by one, you can screen out from the flow of people those with specific malicious intent," Givon claimed.

The controversial device has sparked an outcry among civil rights groups, who argue that a system that combs through your brain to look for evil intentions is "Orwellian" and akin to "brain fingerprinting."

The groups note that the US should not follow in Israeli footsteps with regards to Airport security. At the Ben-Gurion Airport in Israel, Jewish Israelis pass through smoothly, while Arab Palestinians are taken aside for closer interrogation or even strip searches.

The US is already subjected to wide-spread controversy over the appliance of full body scanners, which according to critics, are in violation of child protection laws as well as the right of travelers to privacy.

this reminds me of the fictional ability in the Harry Potter series, called "occlumency", the ability to mask your emotions from intuitive or magically equipped inquisitors.

in real life, there are examples where people with a lot of yoga or martial arts training have beaten lie detectors merely by being aware of their physiology and (for example) consciously lowering their blood pressure.

there have been times in doctor's offices when i've been able to do this myself.  i couldn't lower it below a "blood pressure when relaxed" level, i've just been able to lower it from 160/100 to 120/80 or something like that.

given the number of distraught people in the US because of the economy - and the pattern of the US gov of overlooking obvious "bad guys" - i can't see this technology being much more than another unwelcome intrusion.

i guess the right answer is, "i love America" and "israHell is our friend, oops i mean israel".

Fuck'me! They attack the US, then sell stupid missions to the US to protect them fro another attack.

I've been meaning to write a satirical piece about these airport scanners having a setting that detects holocaust deniers. I bet Greg Bacon has probably already written something similar

I guess any person  of Palestinian orArabic descent will be sent back to Palestine or Tel Aviv via CIA rendition planes.
I will not be travelling to the USA in a hurry or many other countries for that matter.

In wont be long before our computer monitors or screens start functioning as mind readers as well.It is a sick Talmudic world we live in isnt it folks.God help us all.anybody who is interested in travel needs to start thinking "nice and happy" thoughts regarding the American and Israeli holocaust of many people around the world,especially the poor Palestinians.

As Palestinians we will not be controlled nor will our thoughts be controlled toward evil.
