Lie Detectors to be Used for Airline Security
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."

they just shoot your ass.
If you're honest, you get cleared, right?
"Are you a terrorist?"

I found out how the lie detector works. Bend suspect over, shove device in rectum. I only hope that everyone (including officials) has to go through it, equally.
If there's a hot female security guard on duty, I'm gonna SO lie so I'll get searched by her.
The eternal struggle of good vs. evil begins within one's self.
Easy solution. just add $sys$ to your voice box and walk righ through.

What if they're ninjas? Everybody knows that ANYTHING in a master's hands is a deadly weapon.
They searched the place high and low, never finding the door. Someone suggested the fraternity President ask each member, on their honor as a member of the fraternity, if they had stolen the door. So he worked his way down the line, and came to Feynman.
"Richard Feynman, on your honor as a member of the fraternity, did you steal the door?"
"Yes."
He replied, "Quit screwing around, Feynman!", and moved on to the next guy. Everyone else denied having taken the door.
Eventually Feynman took pity on the guys and returned the door and (I believe) confessed. When he did, there was an uproar, as people claimed he had lied.

Now would you unhook this already, please? I don't deserve this kind of shabby treatment!
*BZZT!*
Heh heh... he does deserve that kind of shabby treatment.
Nuh-UH! What about... a Nerf(TM) football? Or an iBrator? Even an evil Master Ninja couldn't focus on being deadly while holding an iBrator, could he?
Ce n'est pas un vrai mouvement de robot!

"I'm a terrorist, and I NEED TO GET ON THAT PLANE! Here's your extra $600." Probably not the most viable idea.

Scully: Now we're going to run a few tests. This is a simple liedetector. I'll ask you a few yes or no questions, and you just answer truthfully. Do you understand?

Okay, how about this, "Would Jesus Christ have approved of your trip today?"
There wasn't a damn thing I could float past her my entire childhood.
The Luddites were ahead of their time.
The guard recoiled and asked what the noise was and I quickly said "a massager".
If anything, it's a lie by omission - you didn't say *what* it was for massaging.
