It consists of a hand scanner and a screen where keywords appear. A person is holding a hand on the scanner while keywords are displayed. <BR/><BR/>The scanner detects multiple parameters that a human cannot control, such as temperature, pressure, etc. For some reason, I don't remember an exact explanation, they can be measured ona hand very precisely... <BR/><BR/>So they keywords displayed on the screen are associated directly or indirectly with the terrorism. The main idea is that when a terrorist sees, say, the word "plot" or "instruction" or whatsoever, he behaves differently than a normal person. The machine catches this difference and makes an alarm. <BR/><BR/>It's interesting, what if a person is a reporter who writes about terrorism and is traveling to an anti-terrorist conference and therefore perceipts all these keywords in the terror context?myth_realityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06255698306518431630noreply@blogger.com
