An Israeli company called WeCU ("We see you") is developing software that can identify terrorists without them doing anything. Haaretz.com, the online edition of the Haaretz newspaper, says:
According to the company's founders, in under a minute it can screen an individual, without his or her knowledge or cooperation and without interfering with routine activities, and disclose intentions to carry out criminal or terror activity. It can identify subjects who are not carrying any suspicious objects, do not demonstrate any suspicious behavior, do not fit into a predefined social or other profile and do not arouse any suspicion.
The story says: "The system consists of three components: Hidden biometric sensors that measure the subject remotely or during random contact; a system that displays the stimuli; and a computerized data analysis and decision-making system that operates in real time."
The developers say that mass production of the system is expected within two and a half years. Each unit is expected to cost tens of thousands of dollars.
There's not much info on WeCU Technologies Ltd, but it is a Microsoft Partner and was "incorporated in August 2003". The partner page has a summary of the approach, but the link to its web page doesn't work.
