Privacy Impact Assessment Update for the
Future Attribute Screening Technology (FAST)/Passive Methods for Precision Behavioral Screening
Abstract
The Future Attribute Screening Technology (FAST) project, managed by the Human Factors/Behavioral Sciences Division (HFD), Homeland Security Advanced Research Projects Agency (HSARPA), Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) seeks to develop physiological and behavioral screening technologies that will enable security officials to test the effectiveness of current screening methods at evaluating suspicious behaviors and judging the implications of those behaviors. The FAST research is adding a new type of research, the Passive Methods for Precision Behavioral Screening (hereinafter FAST/Passive). The purpose of the FAST/Passive study is to build upon existing FAST research using volunteers and increase the performance of FAST primary screening procedures and to increase the ability to differentiate malintent through the inclusion of passive stimuli. The aim of the FAST/Passive study is to devise passive stimuli that will evoke malintent cues and incorporate these stimuli into the FAST screening project. The ultimate goal of the FAST screening project after the testing has been completed is to equip security officials with quantitative tools to rapidly assess potential and unknown threats.

FAST seeks to improve the screening process at transportation and other critical checkpoints by developing physiological and behavior-based screening techniques that will provide additional indicators to screeners to enable them to make more informed decisions.
...
The overall goal of FAST project is to determine whether technology can enable the identification and interpretation of a screened subject’s physiological and behavioral cues or signatures without the need for operator-induced stimuli which, in turn, will allow for security personnel to remotely (and therefore, more safely) identify cues diagnostic of malintent (defined as the intent to cause harm).

Per the FAST Privacy Impact Assessment (December 15, 2008),1 FAST continues to use non-intrusive sensors (i.e., sensors that collect data without requiring physical contact) to collect video images, audio recordings, and psychophysiological measurements (e.g., heart rate, breathing pattern, eye movement, and electrodermal activity) from the volunteers.
