A grizzled, bearded navy SEAL holding onto a leash enters the interrogation chamber, looking at the young Muslim-looking man in the chair. It's time to tell what his real motivations were for having that Casio watch. He tugs on the leash while reaching into his pocket for some baby carrots, signaling the psychological expert to come in and determine whether or not the suspect is holding extremist views. Clever Hans Asperger enters with a trot.

I don't find it hard to believe that it could work now. Or even just realtime microexpression analysis. eventually if you have enough dimensions of measurement surely you can converge on an approximation of yes/no mindreading that's good enough for some state within like 5-10 years, not 50

Microexpression stuff is one of those things mentioned in the forensic science is basically bullshit thread, so while I don't doubt they exist I do doubt they work very well, but the principal of combining all these semi-bullshit tests into one non-bullshit test is smart and scary.

As if it matters if it works or not - it'll only ever be deployed (and bought by the truckload by random small-town police departments who wanna be more terrifying high-tech) to validate pre-existing prejudices. Uh, officer, this man from Lahore we pulled out of the line and drew weapons on was sweaty and a bit scared, looks like our Veritas Scientific HandShake has given us a good reason to detain him for 72 hours.

as someone who worked in small town government during school:these technologies are largely redistribution programs benefiting overfunded police in big cities and college towns. they are certainly used to oppress like 5% of the time and the other 95% they sit in a locker and require "maintenance" and "updates" and "action steps"

it doesn't actually matter if this shit works or not, they'll trot it out when it tells them what they want to hear and leave it on the shelf when it doesn't

oh, I know - but simply by acquiring so much vaguely sinister near future shit, there's just more use for dodgy purposes. lgp said it better, I think.
