mind reading
Homeland Security tests mind-reading technology
They tried out the face-recognition software on 140 volunteers in Maryland and claim a 75-80 percent hit rate for ID'ing people who were supposedly trying to be deceptive or thinking dangerous thoughts. Sensors remotely scan a person's temperature, pulse, respiration, and gestures, even to the point (they say) of being able to distinguish ordinary, stressed-out airline passengers from those up to no good.

Add 25.00 for the Airport Privacy Intrusion Fee. Is this part of a new MK-Ultra?

Twenty-twenty-twenty four hours to go I wanna be sedated
Nothin' to do and no where to go-o-oh I wanna be sedated
Just get me to the airport put me on a plane
Hurry hurry hurry before I go insane
I can't control my fingers I can't control my brain
Oh no no no no no
So the key to passing this test actually predates the test by 30 years. Take a few vicadin, klonopin, xanax, chug a few bottles of sizzurp. Duct tape your boarding pass and ID to your hand.
I bet Willem Dafoe and Christopher Walken would set the malintent face recognition off everytime.

I'll take this scan over the naked x-ray machine they are planning to install. Yikes!
