Lie Detectors to be Used for Airline Security

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the obviously-a-machine-knows dept.

swimgeek writes "A new walk-through airport lie detector being made in Israel may prove to be the toughest challenge yet for potential hijackers or drugs smugglers. The product has been tested in Russia and should be commercialized soon. The software in the detector picks up uncontrollable tremors in the voice that give away liars or those with something to hide, say its designers. Passengers that fail the test are then required to undergo further questioning or even search."

    Lie detectors are naturally attractive to a culture that casually accepts a redefinition of the word "science," that promotes creationism as science, that sprinkles holy water on orange groves in an attempt to retard freezing.
