Airport Profilers Learn to Read Facial Expressions

Posted by samzenpus on from the you-look-guilty dept.

nldavepc writes "There has been a rather scary development in airport security. Airport profilers are watching people's facial expressions for clues of terrorist intent. According to the article,"Travelers at Sea-Tac and dozens of other major airports across America are being scrutinized by teams of TSA behavior-detection officers specially trained to discern the subtlest suspicious behaviors.""

  1. It's the MUSLIMS, stupid. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    We already KNOW who the terrorists are - MUSLIMS. So why do we have to have OUR lives ruined, and pussyfoot around, and do RANDOM stops and searches? We all KNOW it's the MUSLIMS. Why are they in OUR countries?

    Because the JEWS want them here, to destroy any sense of community we whites ever had, so we can't stand up against the Jews again...

    The 'prophet' of Islam was a mass murderer, multiple rapist, and a paedophile, according to muslims.

    Give me a break.

    The article describes the methods these officers will be using to control for normal levels of travel anxiety. And "Grilling" is hardly an appropriate term for the process used to identify people for secondary screening. Questions such as "How are you today?" and "Are all these bags yours" are completely innocuous.

    I'm glad the TSA has graduated from racial profiling to emotional profiling.

    Besides. I feel safe. You know you "feel" safe at the expense of a corrupted administration that has taken our country a lot closer to commie China, right?

    That was France though, where people actually protest
    Yes, just imagine if they hadn't put up such a show of public disapproval when the Germans invaded them in 1940. Who knows where it might have ended - world war two could have broken out!

    Oh, there have been protests. A lot of them over nonsense such as "pro-life", etc. There have been significant ones such as the anti-war marches, the immigrants ones last year, and the 1M man march. The comments about gun owners merely polishing their guns and not doing anything, however, still hold. The gun-owners, if they can be said to be represented by the vehemently-pro-gun right wing radio, universally mocked these protests and protesters. Also, unlike in France, the so-called news here minimized or outright ignored these protests.
