Searching for pre-crime

We’re not at the point where psychic “precogs� lie floating, tethered to computers in the bowels of some secret police headquarters, slipping your name to Tom Cruise so he can drop through your roof and arrest you for pre-crimes... yet.

Welcome to Minority Report in real life as police are being increasingly federalized by Homeland Security and taken deeper into the intelligence apparatus to hunt homegrown terrorists. Some police are armed with cutting edge crime detection tools. In New Jersey, cops can shine a red pre-crime spotlight to mark people up to a block away before they might commit a crime. The NYPD are testing a gun-scanning technology called Terahertz Imaging Detection. You could secretly be scanned to see if you are packing heat and not even know it.
