Russian Lie Detector ATM

Posted by Soulskill on Friday June 10, 2011 @09:14PM from the name-your-favorite-atm dept.

smitty777 writes "Apparently the Russians are starting to add lie detectors to their ATMs in an attempt to prevent identity theft and bad withdraws. 'Consumers with no previous relationship with the bank could talk to the machine to apply for a credit card, with no human intervention required on the bank’s end. The machine scans a passport, records fingerprints and takes a three-dimensional scan for facial recognition. And it uses voice-analysis software to help assess whether the person is truthfully answering questions that include “Are you employed?” and “At this moment, do you have any other outstanding loans?”'"

Psychopaths rejoice! by blind+biker · 2011-06-10 23:05 · Score: 5, Insightful

Psychopaths have zero fear or stress when they tell a lie. (They are otherwise rather fearless - but I won't go into details now.) These ATM machines are wide open for them to pick them apart.

  In addition, if you're a criminal that can't keep his cool when talking to an inanimate object in a relatively private area, then you seriously need a new profession.
