Liars Beware: Covert facial lie detector can spot falsehoods in real time

The system spies on people through a camera, using powerful software that detects the changes in emotions on a person's face. The system bases its results on studies that associate lying to things like sudden eye movements, lip biting, heavy breathing, swallowing, and rapid blinking. Thermal imaging technology then determines rise in temperature brought about by an increase in blood flow, which is another telltale sign of lying. Professor Hassan Ugail (the head of the research) says, "When someone is making something up on the spot, brain activity usually changes and you can detect this through the thermal camera."

This techology is said to be even less dependable than lie detectors and Homeland inSecurity is installing them in US airports. Simply being anxious or nervous will be a problem for you at the airports. So whatever you do, don't get upset in your travels over anything.

Learn to enjoy the process of being felt up and down by TSA perverts and enjoy posing for those nekid scanners, or they could single you out and come down on you hard as you fly the US government's Orwellian unfriendly skies. Whatever you do, don't be stressed when you travel!

Big Sis is on the job and the "crony capitalist" contractors who bought our politicans need their pay backs...on your back.

The magic lie detector lives!

Can this be incorporated into Dear Reader’s TelePrompTer? The thing would be going off like a pinball machine!

Yeah, whatever. IOW, whenever you don't want them to know when you're lying, do the above and concentrate on calculating square roots on all the truthful answers so it covers up the lies later. Looking to the left throws them off, too.

Notice it when the suspect repeats sentences. If the suspect uses almost the exact same words over and over, then it's probably a lie. When a person makes up a lie, he often tries to remember a certain phrase or sentence that sounds convincing. When asked to explain the situation again, the liar will use the very same 'convincing' sentence again.

Ask me a personal question and I will turn red, no need for me to say anything.

Guilty by association.

Facial lie detectors have been around for a long long time. Their called wives and mothers!

Husbands and dads are pretty good at it, too. :)

Wow. That looks like a great series. Thanks for linking that, readhead.

I can think of all kinds of political correctness questions I would fail. But just dealing with airport molestion as it currently exists, would do me in. I would not even able to watch others being abused without being upset. I’m not made to be a good soldier for the police state at all.
