Internet lie detectors
Would you want to have a conversation with someone whose computer just told you it was monitoring your call for lies? I have Skype but if I get this message I'll hang up.
The using of Clinton's statement, as quoted, as a guide to lying is faulty. Bill Clinton's reading of the Bible / church teachings led him to honestly believe that oral sex was not "sexual relations"! A fine distinction perhaps but he used that disclaimer truthfully therefore any inflection in his voice would obviously not prove anxiety or falsehood.
The whole rationale is absurd - are all Skype subscribers liable to be monitored with this device?

As I read it only those subscribers who download the lie detector would be 'testing' their callers.
