New security check points in 2020 will look just like something out of the futuristic movie, The Minority Report. The idea of the new checkpoints will allow high traffic to pass through just as you were walking at a normal pace. No more, waving a wand to get through checkpoints. The new checkpoint can detect if you have plans to set off a bomb before you even enter the building.

This is as crazy as it gets! I don't really like psychology because things are nebulous, blurry, not clear... while science is the only truth.
But if the two work together, this is going to be awesome!

That is a huge generalization ... both psychology and science base much of their theory on statistics. Describing science as the "only truth" is a worrying line to go down, as it opens the line to mental torture (little obvious physical effect, a lot of psychological effect.
Is it just a fact of what psychology (and the human brain) is, that it cannot be as accurate as physics - not until we have an incredibly detailed understanding of all human brains.
Er, what? If you're referring to stuff like Newton's theory of gravity - yes, Einstein improved upon it - however it's not completely "wrong". It's perfectly valid for most everyday calculations (and is still used).
Science isn't only about explaining how, it's also about creating theories that fit the facts in order to make accurate predictions. It does this pretty well.
So, I ask you: what parts of science are "built upon things that are wrong"?
Math and Science are perfect in themselves. We lack 100% knowledge in those fields which cause the errors. There is only human error.
I'm all for it!
+1 ... definitely needs more time to evolve....
And it's not like an trained attacker couldn't get past the system anyway, just keep your heartrate and paranoia down and you are good to go (and blow).
Everyone is different in terms of their emotions, demeanor, body composition, and mannerisms. There is no way in hell anyone can develop a system to accurately screen people based on the observations mentioned in the article.
What if you're sick that day? Will your fever, heart rate, skin temperature, and eyes give you away as a "terrorist"? What about people who habitually look down while they walk, or people who have a mental disorder that causes them to "act" differently or appear differently than most people around them (OCD's, stress, anxiety, etc.)? Will they be instantly singled-out and/or arrested?
I doubt it will ever be a reliable or practical substitute for human security personnel.
