"So when can airport security personnel begin to read the minds of would-be terrorists? Perhaps in the near future.
An Israeli company, WeCu Technologies claims to have devised a method to identify airline passengers with evil intentions by reading the reactions of passengers to certain “stimuli.”
In the system being tested in Israel, projectors at airport terminals flash different images associated with a certain terrorist group or symbols that only a would-be terrorist would recognize.
The assumption is that people cannot hide their reactions to certain images, just as anyone might react to a photo of a close relative suddenly appearing on a wall.
The technology uses hidden cameras aimed at the passing face to capture and analyze even the most subtle reactions. Even an averted glance or a slight increase in heart rate could signal a passenger's intentions.
If the cameras pick up suspicious looks or movement, the passenger can be pulled aside for further screening.
'One-by-one you can screen out from the flow of people those with specific malicious intent,' WeCu Chief Executive Ehud Given told the AP."
