In airports and mass transit systems around the world, nations are now using new technologies to study the behavior of traveling passengers. Security personnel typically review cameras and monitor the behavior patterns of people to include body language, facial expressions, and erratic behavior. Several software applications and advanced biometric applications are currently being field tested or used in various environments. Some of this technology can detect heart rate, breathing, eye movement, body temperature, etc
Utilizing the Waldorf Online Library, search for and select a resource such as an article, white paper, or research study that discusses new or emerging behavioral profiling technology or technology used to collect physiological data as a homeland security measure.
