* The Pentagon can identify targets from afar using a laser to measure heartbeats
* Technology is being developed for U.S. Special Operations for surveillance
* Infrared lasers are able to penetrate clothing and skin to monitor blood flow
* Heartbeats are completely unique unlike faces or even thumbprints
* Prototypes currently have a range of about 200 meters or 219 yards
U.S. special forces are taking a more 'intimate' approach to remotely identifying targets, using lasers to sense their heartbeat.
According to MIT Technology Review, the Pentagon has developed a prototype of the technology, code-named 'Jetson,' that uses infrared lasers to read a person's cardiac signature.
Though far less obvious than fingerprints or faces, people's heartbeats have a distinct profile, making them among the most useful biometrics for uniquely identifying a person.

And with a turn of the knob to the "kill" setting, the game changes.
Anyone know if those aim auto-correcting gun conversion kits have been deployed at all yet?
Actually the article errs a little.
Heartbeats are not entirely unique, but the chances of a duplicate within the broad spectrum range of your target/targets is infinitely small.
Can it identify the Anons at this site?
Too many pacemakers in this crowd for that.
Questions
Does a persons heartbeat identify their nationality?
Are heartbeat profiles changed at times of severe stress?
Would the equipment match the target against a heartbeat profile?
Are identical twin's heartbeat profiles identical?
Are there differences between male/female heartbeat profiles that would show up in the scan?
