In my book I am writing (a sequel) the heroine takes a trip down to Hawaii and when she is interviewed she waives her legal right to having her statements analysed electronically which astonishes the newsies. She also prompts her arrest when she does an interview on CNN and invites the number three official from Homeland Security to do the same. And bets him a millipn Euro straight up he can't do it without destroying his political career.
So sad how reality catches up faster than science fiction writers can extrapolate.

Cheap detectors coming for lies and many other qualities:

These detectors work as well off recorded or transmitted voice and show if someone does not want to talk about something - how carefully they considered before answering and supposedly love and lust.
Will they be outlawed? Will State of the Union and Campaign speeches be a thing of the past?
And they can fit them in a pair of glasses.
I think that any really mature person developes a good bull-#*!@ meter but there are some con artists that have developed the ability to btpass all the normal physical responses to lying. I'm not sure it would be a good thing for only such people to be able to hold elective office.

What I am getting from everybody else I talk to is nobody really believes this will work.
I have to admit I have seen some real vaporware before such as voice recognition software - but I'm keeping an open mind about this.

I actually read about a device recently that could do what you propose, Gravid. It's already on the market, not nearly so cumbersome as a lie-detector, and, according to its distributor, really works.
