Worth it or not?

The way the economy is going in America, it does not seem logical to spend millions of dollars trying to pay for advance security systems in international and national transportation stations-or is it worth the money?  Current government officials are claiming the economic status of the U.S. is the worst it has been since the Great Depression. Professionals are saying that the U.S. economic dominance over the rest of the world is coming to an end. These people claim that it will take a "herculean" strength from the government to start serving the people rather than corrupt businesses.  It will take a great effort from all the people in the U.S. to bring the American economy to the top of the world again.  With America's budget going the way it is as well there doesn't seem like there will be enough to focus on the advancements on airport security.  The fiscal year budget deficit for 2008 was roughly $438 billion, which is almost double what it was the year before-so once again is dropping more money on these new security systems such as SPO technology and MALINTENT really worth the time and effort? Absolutely. 

To refresh, SPO Technology was actually launched during the National Republican and Democratic Conventions in their respected host cities, Minneapolis and Denver.  It has the ability

 to scan moving people and is supposed to be able to speed security checks by over 45 times faster than previous methods.  The device has proven successful on ground transportation and in the air. SPO Technology is able to locate a threat, one containing an explosive or weapon, in or around an airport as they saunter by.  

And as for the MALINTENT technology, it may take a little longer to be launched.  Unlike the SPO Technology MALINTENT is still currently being tested.  There have been a little over 100 human tests on the machine, and so far officials are liking what they see.  This machine has the ability to scan a a human body and measure heart rates, body temperature, and can determine if the traveler is wishing to perform acts of terrorism.  The whole idea of this prototype is to promote a safer and faster security check while reducing the inconveniences of today's security stops.  Where MALINTENT differs from modern lie detectors and polygraphs is that it can determine whether or not a brain thought is natural.  Now, questions might begin to pop up in your head-isn't this an invasion of peoples privacy? I don't think it is.  This system is here to protect the public.  It reads the minds of criminals who could potentially take the lives of hundreds with one attack.  This computer is programmed to be able to determine the good from the bad.  So if a person is walking and is anxious as a flyer and they happen to have an elevated heart rate and high body temperature, the mind thoughts produced by the passenger will show up in the results as a nervous traveler and not as a potential threat. For a video demonstration of MALINTENTcheck this out.

Now there are going to be people who despise the system, claiming that the system will malfunction or read a person incorrectly, but I have faith in our inventors.  Tests after tests will be run to create the most accurate machine to produce results that will avoid any lawsuit conflicts.  They wouldn't create a system such as this to invade privacy and your well being.  The

 Amendments guarantee citizens their freedoms and liberties, and a machine like MALINTENT is designed for you to keep living with your freedom and liberties.  They would create it to protect you and speed up the traveling process so a person can get to their destination safer and faster. It is worth the costs to begin the process to have this technology replicated and placed in every major airport in the United States. With the new technologies placed in our airports maybe we will be able to claim ourselves as the country with the safest airports-such as the airports in Israel.  Although America is on the rise with airport securities since September 11, 2001, it has not been considered the "top dog" in traveler safety.  

Presidential stances on Homeland Security are different, as one could assume. For my issue and support on government intelligence and funding for security systems, John McCain does not have the direction that I would like to see.  He wishes to be more focused on the security and rebuilding of power of the United States and its image in the War in Iraq.  Although he truly does seek an end to world wide terrorism, his methods do not necessarily include the strengthening of technoligical intelligence and safety.  Barack Obama is on the same stances of technical support around the nation as I am.  Obama wants an increase in airport security screening of cargo and passengers. Although MALINTENT probably has not been mentioned as much to the nation because of our econimic status, this system will be what he is looking for. Obama wishes to also create a system of protection that will increase the safety of travelers on subways and busses.  SPO Technology and MALINTENT could easily be installed for the safety of our public in those types of transportation. Here is some video evidence on the difference on approaching terrorism: John McCain, Barack Obama.   

As more and more people do the research, more will understand the types of technology that we are capable of producing to make our world safer.  Every family's number one priority in this world is the preservation of their family.  These programs are designed for the protection of the world.  It is worth the money and time to sponsor these systems.  Safety of the public is always the Chief Executive's goal.  There are no questions asked that MALINTENT and SPO Technology will adhere to their safety codes and make the lives of citizens more valued.
