This reminds me when a group of people attempted to see who was smart and not smart by measuring them. I don't think this experiment will get off the ground. Much less be implemented into any kind of public security.

Robert Rosenthal's "Pygmalion effect?"
Teachers were asked to look at the photographs of their incoming grade school children and predict who would succeed.
Teachers generally picked clean cut, good looking children.
Sure enough, they succeeded.
Rosenthal chalked this up to the fact that the teachers subsequently paid more attention to their selectees during the school year, giving them more encouragement and positive feedback.

Consequently he held that "teacher expectation drives student success."
Just a very short precis of a very complicated study. Big implications in educational circles for the past 35 years or so.
