SUMMARY

Lie-detector glasses, developed by Nemesysco in Israel and marketed by V Entertainment in New York, aim to enhance security measures by analyzing responses to questions in real-time. This technology, originally intended for military and law enforcement applications, claims to detect potential threats such as terrorism with up to 90% accuracy. However, concerns regarding its legal implications, including the Fifth Amendment rights and the reliability of voice-pattern recognition, have been raised by users. The discussion highlights skepticism about the technology's effectiveness and ethical considerations surrounding its use in security settings.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of biometric security technologies
  • Familiarity with the Fifth Amendment and legal rights during interrogation
  • Knowledge of voice-pattern recognition systems
  • Awareness of the ethical implications of surveillance technologies
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the accuracy and reliability of voice-pattern recognition technologies
  • Explore the legal frameworks surrounding the use of biometric data in security
  • Investigate the psychological implications of lie detection technologies
  • Examine case studies of biometric technologies in law enforcement applications
USEFUL FOR

Security professionals, law enforcement agencies, legal experts, and technology developers interested in the implications and applications of biometric security technologies.

Lie-detector glasses offer peek at future of security

Portland, Ore. — It may not be long before you hear airport security screeners ask, "Do you plan on hijacking this plane?" A U.S. company using technology developed in Israel is pitching a lie detector small enough to fit in the eyeglasses of law enforcement officers, and its inventors say it can tell whether a passenger is a terrorist by analyzing his answer to that simple question in real-time.

The technology, developed by mathematician Amir Lieberman at Nemesysco in Zuran, Israel, for military, insurance claim and law enforcement use, is being repackaged and retargeted for personal and corporate applications by V Entertainment (New York).[continued]

considering "Lie-detectors"-esp. polygraph--not allowed in court--

i consider it 'techno-BS"- "in whose hands"--does this 'work' at 90% accuracy?---

what about the 5th amendment prohibition against self incrimination, the right to have legal counsel present during questioning, prohibition against interrogation without probable cause...i've canceled my 'flight'-i already know i ain't going to get through the gates...i'm afriad it might be reading my subconscious thoughts about Nixon!

'voice-pattern recognition'--what about it?--proven or not?

i've found that magic 8 Ball to be amazingly accurate!
