The system uses a miniature computer chip that can provide voice analysis of those responding to questions from screeners at airports. Executives said the technology which they termed Poly-Layered Voice Analysis, measured voice for such traits as deception, excitement, stress, concentration, hesitation, anger, love and lust.WOW!! Who knows the what evil lurks in the hearts of men? Forget The Shadow, it's a tiny computer chip!!
The chip can be inserted in an eyeglass frame and allow screeners to determine with 98 percent accuracy whether a suspicious traveler has intentions to launch an attack during flight, Middle East Newsline reported.
Apparently, it can read your mind!!
It knows the difference between you wanting to blow up a passenger liner and you having a crappy day!!
COOL! This thing works better than GOD!!
AWESOME!!

What the hell?? We're now letting tiny chips tell us when someone is lying? Uh, guys, there are people who can beat polygraphs, how is a chip in a pair of eyeglasses going to avoid being faked out by someone who is just really calm? Could these deviously evil people King George is always going on about be so deviously evil as to be completely cool during a security check at an airport?
How about this: If the airport screeners get to use one, I think every American citizen should get a pair of these glasses, too, so we can wear them during Presidential and Vice-Presidential speeches.
I think that's fair, don't you?

Micro lie detectors help screeners ID air passenger threats
Friday, August 27, 2004
TEL AVIV – An Israeli firm has developed a miniature system that can provide unobtrusive lie detector tests for commercial air travelers deemed suspicious.
The system uses a miniature computer chip that can provide voice analysis of those responding to questions from screeners at airports. Executives said the technology which they termed Poly-Layered Voice Analysis, measured voice for such traits as deception, excitement, stress, concentration, hesitation, anger, love and lust.
The chip can be inserted in an eyeglass frame and allow screeners to determine with 98 percent accuracy whether a suspicious traveler has intentions to launch an attack during flight, Middle East Newsline reported.
The new technology has been relayed to the United States for marketing by a New York-based company V Entertainment, which markets a product to allow screeners to process a would-be airline passenger within 30 seconds.
Executives said a chip small enough to fit in an eyeglass frame could read a subject's voice frequency. The chip was meant to provide nine analyses and flash a light upon detection of a lie. Conventional lie detectors measure the heart beat in an effort to detect whether a subject is telling the truth.
The system, termed "Voice Analysis Eyeglasses," has been produced by the Israeli firm Nemesysco, which develops systems for counter-insurgency and military applications.
The Nemesysco product was said to be ready for marketing and priced at between $500 and $1,000. The system was deemed as suitable for commercial or security applications and could also analyze telephone conversations.
Voice Analysis Eyeglasses, also capable of detecting gaps in the answers of a subject, was said to measure 18 parameters of speech.
