Profiles was established in 1982 as a sole proprietorship. From the beginning Profiles experienced great success as a well respected pre and post employment as a screening firm and developed a support system for the Mark II Voice Stress Analyzer (aka: Psychophysiological Voice Stress Analyzer). In 2007 Profiles became Profiles Research Services, LLC. Today Profiles Research Services, LLC is a group of highly skilled individuals dedicated to the development and deployment of verification devices focused in the identification and detecting of those individuals who are a real and present threat to society. The Psychophysiological Touch Screen Stress Analyzer (PTSSA) screening program was created and developed by Profiles Research Services, LLC. This screening program effectively act as a powerful deterrent as well as identifying individuals involved in, for example, terrorism, smuggling, and other types of criminal activities. The PTSSA screening program was originally designed for the mass screening of individuals within the United States. Later it was realized the PTSSA screening program could be used to detect potential threats in any number of foreign countries with airports, border crossing, immigration offices, embassies, infrastructures, etc. While counter terrorism was the primary focus of this system, there are a number of other applications for this investigative focus screening system. A border is established by a country as the first line of defense in preventing undesirable persons from entering their country. It is the responsibility of the national government to protect these borders. The PTSSA screening program is an excellent prevention and identification tool to effect the protection of government borders and internal security from persons who are involved in terrorism, smuggling or other criminal activities. Currently a person is rarely, if ever, asked security related questions. If they are, there are no means of timely verification. The PTSSA technology presents approximately 15 questions, in the person’s native language. For example, weapons, smuggling and terrorist activities with the added verification feature. The PTSSA measures the variances of a person's muscle tremor when the person touches the specialized computer screen. This muscle tremor is a proven indicator of psychological stress. Even if verification was not possible, these questions need to be asked of every person. During the early development phase of the PTSSA, several individuals admitted they knew of someone involved some of these activities. Again just asking these questions via the PTSSA computer screen is a non threatening method of obtaining previously unknown intelligence. If the analysis of the test indicates consistently abnormal reaction patterns, the person is flagged for additional PTSSA questioning at a secondary checkpoint. The person may be required to answer approximately 60 questions on a PTSSA for the final determination as to whether or not the person represents a potential threat. Security screening at world wide airports lacks the ability to effectively identify potential threats. There was proposed legislative efforts to bolster the security screening. In 2001, an Act of Congress was passed which allowed the use of Voice Stress Analysis (VSA) and other biometric methods to help identify potential threats. A 2006 study conducted by TSA concluded that current screening methods missed 75% of bomb components at LAX and 60% at Chicago O'Hare airports. San Francisco 's airport is run by private security and missed 20% of bomb components. The PTSSA system screen process eliminates the possibility of analyst error and/or bias. No other screening system can match the PTSSA system’s accuracy, reliability, versatility and speed! This system can simultaneous screening of tens of thousands of individuals and produce instantaneous results. This PTSSA technology has numerous applications for law enforcement, private investigators and security contractors, the Department of Defense, the State Department, any government agency, military, embassies, consulates, industrial applications, as well criminal investigations, and psychological assessments. This paper does not suggest that other security measures currently in place be removed with the implementation of PTSSA technologies. To the contrary, it will greatly enhance current security screening capabilities. |
