Wow, I would love to see the reading the camera would get on Klintoon!

This won't work on hitlary or bubba, because they are made of stone, no soul.

Sorry you need a soul for this to work

I would love to see the reading the camera would get on Klintoon!

They tried it. Here is the reading they received from the camera.

[hang 'em]

Klitler lies constantly so there probably would be no change, and the technique would fail when applied to the First Sociopath.

On the other hand, I'm sure it would easily detect his nose.

He noted that 25 percent of the test subjects who were lying eluded detection.

And what percentage of truthful people would be incorrectly detected as liars and taken into the back room? Polygraphs are notoriously unreliable, and this looks to be even more inaccurate.

Cop 1: "Citizen, where are your guns?"

Citizen: "I haven't got any. I lost them on a hunting trip when my canoe overturned on Lake Deeply."

Cop 2 (Monitoring the TriCorder): "Oh, that's a hot one."

Cop 3: "I'll start combing the backyard with the Sonar 3000."

[Gophack]

This is a typical media hype article. They take a small, practically insignificant experience and expand it into every aspect of our lives "Big brother ... security... isn't this great????" without dealing with the ramifications.

At least this article had a lot about the actual "experiment" and the reality that it was interesting but of no scientific use at this point.

And, like the scientist said, 25% of the liars eluded detection. Some people are good liars. Nothing can detect them.

[Stone Mountain]

They are going to have to get this a LOT more accurate before it can be used on a mass scale. 1 or 4 false negatives and 1 of 11 false positives translates into many many thousands of people being detained unnecessarily if used at airports...

They also don't talk about the test being beatable. What if you spread some super glue or Vasoline around your eyes to minimize the temperature differences for instance...

[weegee]

The Clintons are cold blooded, I doubt it would give any reading...

[weegee]

They need to call this what it is The Mood Camera, could be bigger than mood rings...

[LurkedLongEnough]

YOU ARE LYING ABOUT THIS NEW CAPABILITY!!!

This was mentioned in the 1981 movie called "Wolfen". The feds were interrogating a terrorist suspect under infrared and voice-pattern analysis machines.
