THANK GOD I'M NOT IN AMERICA!!!
Anywhere else I'd say it was a joke.

My comments: Yes, I am definitely more afraid of the War on Terror than of the actual terrorists! I'm sure that I'm not going to be attacked by the jihadists here in my 20,000 person cowtown in the middle of Bumfuck. But I certainly do fear the government wiretapping my calls, spying on my activities, and now, of course, this shit.

Minorityreport

The Department of Homeland Security recently announced the development of futuristic sounding technology with a bizarre “Minority Report” twist. The criminals they’re looking for haven’t committed a crime yet.
DHS says that they need a way to detect possible “future” terrorists without a criminal past and with no known ties to terrorist organizations and therefore do not appear in any government databases. The technology will use advanced biometric technology in an attempt to “read minds” of people in public places, like airports.

If a computer determines that you are thinking about committing a
terrorist act, either imminently, or at some point during your stay in
the US, then you will be picked up by security officers for an
interview.
What is especially creepy about this upcoming program is that since it
is specifically targeting people with no known terrorists ties—the only
evidence is the “opinion” of a invariably flawed computer program.
