Handy Truster lie detector

 

[OutlawWolf]

nobody heard of this???

 

[geno]

nope, I'm startin to wonder if it works too, even though that link seems broken

Not to brag, but I can pretty much do the same thing naturally. I suppose a machine can be calibrated to do the same thing... there is a change in timbre... a shift in tone... I can usually pick up on it when someone is BSing.

It's a bene gesserit thing I suppose... but years of listening very carefully and watching body language very, very closely have taught me to discern what is really being said.

Poor Mr Isla!

This machine is claimed to detect lies 8/10.
Human has not come close.

This's going to be fun fooling around with.
A portable lie detector that small.

Umm, lie detectors are a bunch of crap. It's a complete voodoo science.

 

[OutlawWolf]

Not the ones with long wires.
This is an electronic portable one.

Argh, damn witches and their Truth abilities. I'd hate to take you on in a street brawl, though, yikes!

Sorry, just got done reading House Atreides a few days ago.

More related to the topic...I think our local police force has acquired a few for testing purposes. I don't know why they bothered in the wake of our near-bankrupt city...anyways, I'll check the news sites tonight and tomorrow for any results.

 

[PistachioByAzul]

No, all lie detectors are bogus.

 

[NaughtyusMaximus]

I seriously doubt that would work on me.
