Homeland Security is testing the next generation of security screening. The system, called MALINTENT, searches for non-verbal cues of fear or nervosity. It has a series of sensors that read body temperature, heart rate and respiration for unconscious signals, invisible to the naked eye.

A scene from the airport of the future: A man's pulse races as he walks through a checkpoint. His quickenedheart rate and heavier breathing set off an alarm. A machine senses his skin temperature jumping. Screeners move in to question him.
Signs of a terrorist? Or simply a passenger nervous about a cross-country flight?It may seem Orwellian, but on Thursday, the Homeland Security Department showed off an early version of physiological screeners that could spot terrorists. The department's research division is years from using the machines in an airport or an office building— if they even work at all. But officials believe the idea could transform security by doing a bio scan to spot dangerous people.

A "mind-reading" security scanner which screens the person, rather than their bags, is being tested in the US.
The Malintent system searches the body for non-verbal cues that predict whether the person intends to cause any harm to fellow passengers.
It uses a series of sensors and scans to detect temperature, heart rate and respiration as passengers walk through an archway - and could also cut airport queues. The system is also designed to be able to distinguish between a rushed, stressed and sweaty passenger, and a terrorist.
