'''Future Attribute Screening Technology''' ('''FAST''')<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.newscientist.com/blogs/shortsharpscience/2008/09/precrime-detector-is-showing-p.html|title='Pre-crime' detector shows promised|date=September 23, 2008|work=newscientist.com|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090305074604/https://www.newscientist.com/blogs/shortsharpscience/2008/09/precrime-detector-is-showing-p.html|archivedate=2009-03-05}}</ref> is a program created by the [[Department of Homeland Security]]. It was originally titled [[Project Hostile Intent]]. The purpose is to detect "Mal Intent" by screening people for "psychological and physiological indicators"<ref name=natg/> in a "Mobile Screening Laboratory".<ref name=dtic/> FAST aims to detect and model the behavioral cues that indicate an individual's intent to do harm and/or deceive. The cues examined in FAST are those that can be assessed remotely and in real time, like pulse rate, sweating, restless behavior, and possibly brain scans. The procedures and technologies required to collect these cues are non-invasive (like surveillance cameras and body heat sensors) and amenable to integration into busy operational contexts, like airports.
