The Future of American Airport "Security"?




Lie-detector tests, or, rather,"truth verifier machines." My favorite line from the story:"At first, only passengers deemed suspicious by the FSB, the security service that succeeded the KGB, will take the test. But..."--come on now, you know what's coming, don't you?--"...it will eventually encompass all passengers."

How long can it be before the wise and virtuous people at Homeland Security and TSA discover how much fun they can have with this?

That lie detectors are inadmissible in court, easily "beaten" or confused, and have little or no legal relevance whatsoever?
