Insurance Claims to be Tested by Lie Detector

Albanach writes "HBOS, one of the largest UK banks is to introduce random lie detector analysis of insurance claims according to this article from the Edinburgh Evening News. The three month trial will see calls from its 1.5 million policy holders randomly subjected to voice stress analysis. Those flagged up will then receive a set of questions designed to expose 'potential fraudsters'."

    People, one of our own has been found. Trapped in the local woods of newtown square. He did not use the lie detector system by the UK govt. and was taken away by SCO goons late last evening. Truly a troubling loss. They caught him infringing on their IP property by using 12 lines of SCO code in his homebrew linux computer's kernel. Please help us save this young man. Check out The Mike Green Challenge site today, to help rescue this young man from the oppressive clutches of SCO and Micro$oft.
