Lie Detectors to be Used for Airline Security 504

Posted by CowboyNeal on Thursday November 17, 2005 @08:47PM 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."

If you're honest, you get cleared, right?
"Are you a terrorist?"
"Yes."
"Go on through."

...no U.S. politician has been able to fly out of Israel.

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.

And ask them if they're really doing their job instead of just standing around looking helpless.

Richard Feynman, when he was in college, once helped steal and hide the door of two guys in the fraternity who were being obnoxious twits about keeping the door to their room closed.
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.

Nuh-UH! What about... a Nerf(TM) football? Or an iBrator [goatee.org]? Even an evil Master Ninja couldn't focus on being deadly while holding an iBrator, could he?

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.
