People were instructed to “act guilty”, and the machine had a 75% success rate (which is absolutely miserable, by the way).

My favorite part was that the "tests" were conducted using ACTORS. People were instructed to "act guilty", and the machine had a 75% success rate (which is absolutely miserable, by the way).

Measuring the before and after readings won't help if you are already stressed out on the "before" reading. @Seej 500

Yes, that’s something they still need to address. Measuring the before and after readings won’t help if you are already stressed out on the “before” reading.

Despite having no criminal record I feel guilty walking past a policeman. Does this mean I'm gonna get pulled out of line every time I fly?
