Researchers have found a way to allow people who keep their... dignity while at an airport, and none of that racial profiling, being on the no fly list for no reason, being allowed to keep wearing your shoes, and not being suspected of carrying a bomb under your jacket, and all that. And maybe you're allowed to keep that bottle of water.
Thanks to the magic of FAST, which measures your human behavior and your natural signals such as your heart rate, eye movement, and even if you're fidgeting. The theory goes that if you're a bad person and you're carrying a bomb or you were going to make your own or something, you'd be nervous, or at least look like you'd have something to hide. So these sensors can detect that and basically turn the airport into a passive line of defense against these evildoers, which is how it should have been in the first place.
