Suspect Detection Systems, Inc. offers what it feels is one of the most significant developments in years for the prevention of terrorist attacks. The Israeli company has a way of detecting terrorist intentions long before any crime is ever committed. Although authorities may not be able to convict someone for their thoughts, they can take actions to prevent the person from carrying them out. In any event, it represents a major potential deterrent to terrorists or other people with criminal intent from entering a country where it is being used.

The system acts like a highly advanced lie detector. People are led to a futuristic looking oval booth, where they sit down facing a screen displaying instructions. They are asked to put their passport on a scanner that reads where they are from. They are then asked to place their hand on a special

Suspect Detection Systems, Inc., developer of what many believe to be the world’s most advanced and effective detection system for identifying terrorists and other potential criminals, is gaining both international attention and acceptance. Various versions of the electronic system, called Cogito, are already being used by commercial and governmental customers in Israel, Central America, and South Africa.

It goes on to say that the company’s goal is to catch at least 90% of potential saboteurs, and that Israeli authorities plan to test the system at the country’s main international airport,

Suspect Detection Systems, Inc. has what must seem like a dream machine to many agents in the Department of Homeland Security. Looking like some sort of futuristic phone booth, the SDS product, called Cogito, is an automated system which actually analyzes the occupant, collecting and evaluating a variety of psycho-physiological indicators and cross-referencing them against additional information.

One of the lessons learned from 9/11 is that terrorists don’t have to carry explosives or weapons while traveling or entering a target country. They may not carry anything but themselves and what they are thinking. By using sophisticated 5-minute tests, the system is designed to spot not only terrorists, but smugglers, collaborators, and just about anyone with some sort of criminal objective. Once targeted, a suspect can be directed to further questioning by the appropriate officials.

Beyond homeland security, the system can be used in practically any
