A new system developed by an Israeli company utilises physiological and psychological responses assessed by a computer, rather than a human. It is due to go on trial at both a West Bank crossing point and a US airport, which is deliberately not being identified, later this year.

Neither the TSA nor Suspect Detection Systems Ltd., the Israeli company, will discuss the Knoxville trial, whose primary goal was to uncover the designated bad guys, not to identify threats among real travelers. They won't even say what questions were asked of travelers, though the system is generally designed to measure physical responses to hot-button questions like "Are you planning to immigrate illegally?" or "Are you smuggling drugs."

What I'm wondering is why haven’t the company's website discussed the results of the trials yet? In the Forbes article in their press section they say that they have a 96 % success rate after 2 years of testing. On other websites like the Journal, there are statements of around an 85 percent success rate.


According to FT.com (Financial Times), They've not only tested the system in Israel but also in the U.S. There's no doubt that this is a huge opportunity for investors and stuff so as I see it, they should be bragging their brains out about the effectiveness of the technology so far......unless it's not living up to par with their expectations. Then again though, I guess that maybe they don't want some other company figuring out how the technology works before they tweak it to where it delivers an optimal success rate or whatever.
