A New Forensic Picture Polygraph Technique for Terrorist and Crime Deception System

The Forensic Terrorist Detection System called Pinocchio Assessment Profile (PAP) employs standard issue polygraphs for a non-verbal picture technique originated as a biofeedback careers interest instrument. The system can be integrated readily into airport screening protocols. However, the method does not rely on questioning or foreign language translation, whether Arabic, French, Russian, Chinese or English. Its value is sustained in intelligence gathering through hot targets of suspected terrorists or suicide bombers including Al Qaeda, Hezbollah, Taliban et al. Suspect terrorists even at airports or in other criminal investigations; looters, rapists, murderers or armed hold-up robbers are exposed to photographs of suspect collaborators or weapons from brutal crime scenes. This article presents the advantages and the applications of PAP. This article also describes how to use PAP. Lastly, it traces the history of research and development leading to the invention of PAP from 1962-2005.

Eisenhower Farewell Address Extracts, January 17, 1961; and (4) A description of the schematic constructed by Francois Schaut, which illustrates how portable miniaturized polygraph units can use non-verbal "real-time for specifically individualized" face/place recognition interrogation.
