New Airport Security Checkup – Lie Detector
A new lie-detecting kiosk that can spot changes in physiology and behaviour during interviews with travelers is currently being tested. It could be used not just for border security, but also for law enforcement, job interviews, and other human resources applications as well.
The Automated Virtual Agent for Truth Assessments in Real Time (AVATAR) is designed to help border security agents determine whether travellers coming into Canada may have undisclosed motives for entering the country.
“AVATAR is a kiosk, much like an airport check-in or grocery store self-checkout kiosk,” said Professor Aaron Elkins from San Diego State University in the US. “However, this kiosk has a face on the screen that asks questions of travelers and can detect changes in physiology and behaviour during the interview.
