DHS To Use Body Odor As a Lie Detector
The US Department of Homeland Security is studying lies, damned lies, and smells. They hope to prove that human body odor could be used to tell when people are lying. The department says they are already "conducting experiments in deceptive behavior and collecting human odor samples" and that the research it hopes to fund "will consist primarily of the analysis and study of the human odor samples collected to determine if a deception indicator can be found."
They could be lining this up as the replacement for UAC!

After all, it would be nice to be able to say that Office Depot's policy of lying to customers literally STINKS!
So how are they going to calibrate this?

I went to a Magic, the Gathering regional tournament. The place was packed with liars! Same goes for the local comic book store, evidently.
