"Terrorists aren't born overnight. They are indoctrinated, schooled," says Joseph Atick, founder of Visionics, which has deployed its technology at an Iceland airport, at English stadiums to keep out soccer hooligans and, controversially, this summer in the entertainment district of downtown Tampa, Fla.
