Airport security officials are thinking of using behavioural profiling:
The U.S. Transportation Security Administration will soon use more behavioral profiling at American airports to detect suspicious activity, a top official said Thursday.
TSA Director Kip Hawley said the agency would expand a pilot program that has trained officers to observe passengers’ behavior currently at about a dozen airports. He said it will be expanded after the summer travel rush.
Of course, there are those who think civil rights are being trampled on:
Some civil rights groups have complained the program involves racial profiling. The American Civil Liberties Union has sued the Massachusetts Port Authority over its behavior pattern recognition program.
This is nothing. The ACLU ought to be grateful this isn't India:
Pakistani national Aamir Sohail, who entered the country without proper travel documents, will be put through narco analysis, brain mapping and other tests to find out the truth behind his visit to India, an investigating official said on Saturday.
Sohail was remanded to ten days police custody on Friday after the police registered a case against him under various Articles of Foreigners Act as he had entered the country without valid passport and other documents.
Sohail was detained when he got down at the platform number one of the Vadodara railway station on August 25 last after two Railway Protection Force (RPF) constables saw him moving suspiciously.
Move suspiciously in India, and end up getting strapped on a gurney for a brain mapping. Now that's border security.
