IF there was a PERFECT lie detector, what would your ONE question be, and to WHOM?

Wonder how the criminal justice system would be if such a device
was perfected.

Yes or No answers would be expected.

Refraining from answering would mean certain conviction.

Is this limited to yes or no questions?

Are we guaranteed a truthful answer, or can they lie & be done with the question even though the machine said they lied?

<< I'd ask OJ if he really didn't do it :D >>



Dang, that's a good one genocide!! :)
I'd also ask the same of Clinton, or put all the former presidents still alive in the seat and ask them if they've ever covered up extra terrastrial activity.

Guess you would have to word it in such a way that answering yes or no would deterimine if they are lying or not based on other facts.

I believe in the future we will have the capability to monitor brain activity to such a high degree to the point that it would be even more accurate than a DNA match. I'm wondering if the judicial process would
change dramatically.

Yes or No only.

That's a good one.

Guessing Gary Condit could be a prime candidate for this program also.

I'd ask that guy that RATM is always ranting about whether or not he killed those cops. If he did, I'd kill him. If he didn't, I'd turn him loose.

That way I'd never have to hear another word about him.

i immediately thought of simpson... but we all know 99.999% sure that his @$$ did it so it would be a waste.
who cares about that lame bin laden mumble jumble... that is just a waste of a question.

Extra terresterial activity was an interesting question... not sure what i would do. also, if you had this perfect lie detector test could you ask anyone in the world a question or just people that you really could be able to ask such a question. if someone gave me a perfect lie detector test i would have a tough time getting Oj Simpson to talk to me and answer such questions... :)

its funny how nobody gives a rats ass anymore about the whole Condit issue, well, with all the WTC stuff going around.

For yes and no type answers, i'll ask God if i'm going to get married or not.

for long answers, or an explanation type, i'll ask God for the meaning of life as well.
