Must be the body language. I was stopped by the police on two different occasions on the streets for no real reason. But then again I did look shifty with the clothes I was wearing at both times.

Yeah I got an F in body language  :green:

Sounds like a waste of money. Not much in the quote; is there more. Link?

There is a link in green under the quote.
Yes it does sound like a waste of money a very big one and on top of that is all the litigation that it will cause

Well, I wonder how their algorithm would worked for Nixon?

Also, they would have to arrest almost all of Wall Street.

They might as well have us all living in prisons.

Most of us have criminal thoughts and desires. I'd love to shoplift a lot of things If I ever got the opportunity, for example.

It apparently is designed to detect stress, so a sociopath who steals without remorse might not even be detected, while a person in an airport who's late for his plane and nervous about the possibility of being groped or forced to pass through the naked body scanners, would probably trigger the algorithm and be singled out for secondary screening.

I'm not sure stress and remorse are the same thing, though.

Psychopaths/sociopaths do feel stress from what I think I've read and watched. But I could be wrong once again.

In that case, the machine will explode upon reading my anxiety. :laugh:

But really though, that in itself proves it's ineffective. Also what's stops authorities harassing you if you become a bit of a dissident? They could trump up pre-crime charges on you like you wouldn't believe to silence you; and if such pre-crime evidence actually holds weight, it becomes a tool to enforce obedience than to prevent crime.

Existence actually has two broad meanings despite its apparent meaningless. The constant reconciliation of all its parts, and the conservation of any closed system as a whole.

Morality can be extrapolated from these meanings to make these two commandments of godless morality: 1). Be in harmony with one another and 2). Care for the environment.
