Source: SecurityFocus.com - Posted by Eric Lubow   
Got something to hide? You may not want to reconsidering flying in the future. An Israeli company has come up with a biometric system for detecting emotional responses to a series of questions. The system, dubbed Cognito, uses polygraph-like techniques to detect when a passenger is worried during a series of questions. Within 5 minutes, the system makes a determination of whether the passenger should be further questioned by authorities, according to the company. "What we are looking for are patterns of behavior that indicate something all terrorists have: the fear of being caught," Shabtai Shoval, chief executive of biometric systems maker Suspect Detection Systems, told the Wall Street Journal in a Monday article.

Tom Newton from SmoothWall, said: “The new child online safety card has been over-hyped and could end up causing more harm than good. Of course, it is a worthy idea and will certainly be a blueprint for future similar schemes, but this initial effort has some serious flaws."
