Homeland Security to start body odor profiling, to sniff out criminals

Boy you people sure are pessimistic about this. You should all be glad they are looking at ways of catching criminals besides taking the rest of your freedoms away.

I heard of a guy getting charged with Assualt for farting on a cop. This new sniffer machine will take it to a whole new level. If you fart into the machine, you could be charged with attempting to overthrow the government. Fart used to be funny. Not anymore. Now there treasonous!!

and what does a criminal smell like ? Big waste of money

This is already done with the puffers at airports. One reality is that this is not good at all. Anyway 3 liters of pineapple juice and the scent Is a different one.

great.. that's like saying if it smells like beans and tortillas it's illegal =] ah haha; so stupid.. i agree. and i don't think it's really the same as using dogs to "sniff out drugs" . . . lol how do they sniff out the criminals? i personally know many criminals, and notice no certain smell. haha

let her rip... just not in the airport :D

If it looks like a terrorist, it probably is a terrorist.
Wait that's racist.
...
If it -smells- like a terrorist, it probably is a terrorist.
MUCH better.

another big waste of money...

smell my poogash airport security

I'll have to increase my intake of beans and hard boiled eggs.

It might or might not be a good thing, but it's not bullshit.

BTW, checking odor is used routinely in airports. Most obviously, dogs trained to recognize the odor of drugs or explosives. Machines are also used to check carry-on and checked baggage.

east germany used to do this

...what .. the fuck? smell profiling... this system of control is getting out of hand no human should hold power over any human for we all are human and God is greater.

aside from that, if your gonna get sniffed i say eat a SHITLOAD of garlic and onion .. and then EAT MORE. that should be enough to fuck up a dogs nose... or maybe ur a grocery robber then since u smell like onion

america is sooooooooooo gay

This totally stinks. Smelly people have feelings, too!

sounds like something that was made up by a bunch of fuck ups to me... oh wait...

I like living in the land of the free..

lol...what happens if your naturally nervous? scary, esp. since the criminals are usually the ones in the uniforms. :( Of course, as soon as it happens there will be some great person willing to make $ off of a new body-spray. :)

Like the person said in the 1st comment; "This sounds like BullShit to me!"

I found Homeland Security's criminal smell profile chart.

Type of smell = Type of criminal

Pot Grower - a skunk
Grand theft auto - new car smell
A terrorist - Seven-11 and or taxi cab
War criminal - Scotch and Texas BBQ
Sex offender- the bathroom at the airport in MN
Fraud - cash, prostitutes and Wall St.( the actual street)

....the list goes on....please, add.

Hmm..Sounds like something from "Team America: World Police"

Really??????? How much do you think THAT's costing us? Your tax dollars at work, Ladies and gentlemen..Gotta love Homeland Security. I know I'll feel safer if they can sniff out the crook like McGruff the Crime Dog.

Please?!

This certainly smells like bullshit to me!
