If you think that not being allowed hand luggage, or being subjected to body searches at the airport is annoying and takes up time just wait till the next technology arrives. According to reports, an Israeli security company has now produced a biometric polygraph system. The system, known as Cogito, apparently uses polygraph-style techniques to detect emotional response of a subject under questioning. Within 5 minutes, the company making it, Suspect Detection Systems Ltd, say it can determine whether someone should be further questioned by authorities.

It's name is Cogito 1002, not Cognito.
it was late when I posed it. C'est la vie!
".......it can determine whether someone should be further questioned by authorities."
Or the wife.
And what, pray tell, is wrong with body searches ? Surely that's the first happy moment that makes you realise that you're finally on holiday. People pay good money for that kind of treatment in the city. J'espère que les autorités gardent toujours cela au moins.
