Mind-reading systems could change air security

[tyler811]

CHICAGO (AP) — A would-be terrorist tries to board a plane, bent on mass murder. As he walks through a security checkpoint, fidgeting and glancing around, a network of high-tech machines analyzes his body language and reads his mind.
Screeners pull him aside.
Tragedy is averted.
As far-fetched as that sounds, systems that aim to get inside an evildoer's head are among the proposals floated by security experts thinking beyond the X-ray machines and metal detectors used on millions of passengers and bags each year.

absurb, what about people who are scared to fly?

what about terrorists who feel no emotion about what they're about to do?

more security theater.

Here's an idea... Strip search everyone that wants to board a plane into the united states.
Will it save lives? Absolutely
Will it suck? YES

Mind reading systems?

I can see it now...

Average ATOT'er goes to board a plane...sees a hot chick.

"Oh man, I'd like to fuck her in the ass."

Gets thrown up against a wall and charged with pornographic thoughts.

Gets anally raped in prison.

just wait until a security lineup gets blown up because of this retardedness. security lineups are a bigger danger than flying itself!!! so stupid

This will not work. By the time folks make it to the security checkpoint after messing with the automated check-in kiosk, the lines, parking, more, lines, snot-nosed kids, smelly oldfarts, and the #@#$# baggage charges, everyone has thoughts of mass murder.
