37.請依下文回答第 37 題至第 40 題Feeling as if you are being watched? You probably are. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) in theUnited States recently began rolling out a new security program, Screening Passengers by Observation Techniques(SPOT), at dozens of airports around the country. Using behavioral profiling, SPOT aims to identify “high-riskindividuals” by monitoring passengers’ body language. Under this initiative, “behavior detection officers” are trainedto recognize involuntary gestures, subtle facial twitches, and changes in vocal pitch that signal stress or deceit. Apassenger displaying suspicious behavior is taken aside for additional screening.But do such programs work? In Israel, where officers get nine weeks of training, behavioral screening isconsidered effective. But most TSA screeners receive only four days’ instruction; the idea that they will be able tomaster the art of behavior recognition with such meager training is “preposterous.” Meanwhile, the Department ofHomeland Security just finished testing an automated version of SPOT using a device called Cogito, which works in amanner similar to a polygraph device. Passengers answer a set of simple questions displayed on a touch screen whileinserting one hand into a sensor that measures biometric responses, such as sweat levels and blood pressure.
