Step Closer to Precog

Ars Technica reports on the Department on Homeland Security (DHS) exploring automated Hostile Intent detectors. As quoted, "hostile intent indicators are composed of behavioral, speech, and physiological cues that are derived from operational and laboratory experiments" which Ars notes:
these cues can identify not only those who pose immediate risks but also individuals who are likely to pose risks in the indefinite future (italics added).
It's a step closer to the Precogs in Minority Report. I'm interested in seeing where this goes.
