Straight out of Minority Report a new Homeland Security program would subject Americans to pre-crime interrogations and physiological scans to detect people who are intending to commit a terrorist act at sports stadiums, malls, airports and other public places has moved closer to being implemented after the FAST program passed its first round of testing at an undisclosed location in northeast US.
The system uses a computer program that studies physiological indicators of a person, such as heart rate and the steadiness of a person’s gaze, and then uses the data to make a judgment on whether that individual has “malintent”.

We are so incredibly close to losing our freedoms to progressivism.
This is wrong
Homeland Security is calling the program ‘Orwell’s Boot”...
The can make it a lot easier to catch terrorists by asking one question: Are you a Muslim?
Any sound that Winston made, above the level of a very low whisper, would be picked up by it; moreover, so long as he remained within the field of vision which the metal plaque commanded, he could be seen as well as heard. There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment. How often, or on what system, the Thought Police plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork.

How about sending Homeland Security people to Tel Aviv airport for training?
So many of the republicans are progressives.
That’s the difference between the establishment and those it attacks.

I'm pretty certain that, under ALL conditions, “prior restraint” is unConstitutional.
The only thing Orwell got wrong in that book was the title. It should have been titled “Two Thousand Eleven”....
Isn’t this a computerized version of what Israeli screeners do now, though—closely monitor behavior and subject those meeting certain criteria to extra screening?
It’s not the technology that worries me. It’s the fact that government bureaucrats can be 100% guaranteed to use this technology in the exact wrong way.

And knowing our current government, they’ll do it.

That’s part of her appeal.
They'll yawn about this jack booted thuggery>
What liberal elites don't understand is when we're in office we'll be checking for 'terrorists' too - maybe PETA types... or Code Pink crazies...
We know they're NOT after Muslim terrorists... that's the group they protect with PC rules. But that's the excuse - and it'll be ours too...

Better yet, send them to the unemployment line.
This won’t apply to muslims, illegals or marxist liberals.
is this very different from the behavioral screening famously used at Israeli airports?
The $64,000 question is what is going to be done about it? I have not seen the GOP exactly racing to stop the tyranny.
