A couple of years ago there were news articles that the pentagon has a "lasers that can identify people in a crowd from 200m away based on their heart rate signatures".

No idea if that's true or overblown, but it doesnt seem unlikely that such technology becomes possible in the future.

From where did they obtain your or my "heart signature"? What about gait, etc.?
you can pull a heart rate from color amplification, same basic idea as motion amplification.
