predictable. And that's probably one of the largest mistakes we make in the area of aviation security, because whenever we become predictable, terrorist groups figure that out pretty quickly and they adapt quicker than we can. We have to use the latest technologies, but we can't just rely on body scanners as the “end- all” to fix of our problems. They need to be continually tested and changed, as adversaries get more aggressive and complicated.
Mike Brenner: Facial recognition, or biometrics, is a very promising new technology. New programmes can scan about 15 faces a second with a 90 percent success rate in pulling from a database those individuals who need further scanning. It's a controversial issue, but I think it's a first line of defence. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) right now is screaming that the body scanners are a virtual strip search, violating the U.S. Constitution, mainly the Fourth Amendment’s protection against unreasonable searches and seizures.
Philip Baum: That's the problem. How do we get regulators to embrace these new technologies? There are other technologies that use layered voice analysis, that look for latent stress levels in people's voices when they're speaking that insurance companies in the United Kingdom are already using when you telephone to make a claim, just to check that it's not a fraudulent claim.
John Persinos: That's a common story with many new technologies: government regulators often lag behind technological innovation. Regulatory bureaucracies certainly aren’t early adopters.
Philip Baum: Regulators like the tried and tested technologies of the 1960s and 1970s, because it's very easy for them to test those technologies. They can put a gun in a bag and see whether the screener identifies it. The problem with all of these behavioural technologies -- which I embrace -- is that the regulators don't!
