{{Short description|Surveillance technology}}
'''MALINTENT''' is a technological system that was developed by the [U.S. Department of Homeland Security](/source/U.S._Department_of_Homeland_Security) to be implemented for detection of potential [terrorist](/source/terrorist) suspects.<ref>{{cite web|publisher=[Fox News](/source/Fox_News)|url=https://www.foxnews.com/story/homeland-security-detects-terrorist-threats-by-reading-your-mind|title=Homeland Security Detects Terrorist Threats by Reading Your Mind|date=September 23, 2008|first=Allison|last=Barrie|access-date=2008-09-24}}</ref>

The system does various test scanning for [elevated blood pressure](/source/elevated_blood_pressure), rapid [heart](/source/heart_rate) and [breath rate](/source/breathing), and [non-verbal cues](/source/body_language). According to the scientists, the '''MALINTENT''' system uses a barrage of non-invasive sensors and imagers to detect and evaluate a person's [facial expression](/source/facial_expression)s to gauge whether the suspect could be planning to commit an attack or crime.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Salem |first1=Mahmoud |last2=Elkaseer |first2=Ahmed |last3=El-Maddah |first3=Islam A.

If the sensors pick up anything considered alarming, analysts can decide whether to subject a person to questioning.<ref>{{cite web|publisher=IndianaExpress.com|url=http://www.indianexpress.com/news/new-airport-screening-could-read-minds/365378/|title=New airport screening 'could read minds'|date=September 24, 2008|accessdate=2008-09-24}}</ref>
