There should be a run on pacemakers now...

Sure, but have they tested it on teenagers who feel body and soul that adults, especially parental units, are so far below them that they are deemed unworthy of any communication whatsoever so that said teen can only muster the blank stare at some point about 4 inches to the left of the adult’s face followed closely by the combination eye roll and sigh.

How soon before people in intel agencies are trained to fool it. I didn't see if this method requires baseline questions to see how the person being questioned reponds when telling the truth or lying. Would it be possible to force yourself to go through the mental lying process even when telling the truth so the examiner sees the same reaction for both?

Not everyone will be in favor of this technology. Those who make their living by lying may be particularly set against it.

fMRI lie detection still needs to be tested on a wider range of people - professional liars, brain damaged people,.....

Much of the trouble we have in peace time and in war, in politics and in business ventures, is due to talented and ruthless liars. It looks like we may finally have a technological way to effectively deal with them.
