*We're from the government, and here to help you.*
Peter Boogaard, the deputy press secretary for the Department of Homeland Security, provided a statement to CNET that said:
The department's Science and Technology Directorate has conducted preliminary research in operational settings to determine the feasibility of using non-invasive physiological and behavioral sensor technology and observational techniques to detect signs of stress, which are often associated with intent to do harm. The FAST program is only in the preliminary stages of research and there are no plans for acquiring or deploying this type of technology at this time.

using non-invasive physiological and behavioral sensor technology and observational techniques to detect signs of stress, which are often associated with intent to do harm. It would be wise to mount the sensors securely so they can't be accidentally bumped to point at a government employee.

Whatever you do, don’t use it on blacks or muslims or it will be called “profiling.”

So profiling is wrong....but letting a computer profile people is ok? Guess that makes sense how do you call a computer racist.

Yet they will not use this for profiling Amish.
