- THE US Department of Defense has revealed plans to develop a lie detector that can be used without the subject knowing they are being assessed. The Remote Personnel Assessment (RPA) device will also be used to pinpoint fighters hiding in a combat zone, or even to spot signs of stress that might mark someone out as a terrorist or suicide bomber.

In a call for proposals on a DoD website, contractors are being given until 13 January to suggest ways to develop the RPA, which will use microwave or laser beams reflected off a subject's skin to assess various physiological parameters without the need for wires or skin contacts. -

Big Brother is watching I guess its time to make our aluminum foil hats that should keep them from noticing us.   ;)   
To be serious sounds like an invasion of civil rights to be microwaved & lasered without your consent.

You got that right Tonyswhirl. I get cought every time I lie or do something wrong.
So I try not to do anything wrong anymore. Been together 28Yrs now.

Congrats on your 32yrs.
This is my secondand I an very happy and glad. The first didn't last but a year. it was all her doing she took everything and my son  and left the state 20yr ago. The last time I saw my son was
10yrs ago. His 18th birthday at court to stop my child support.
Well thats enough of the bad thought. I'm very happy now thinking about retiring by the end of the year.   That would be nice but thats what I am thinking of anyway.

Sounds healthy.  Mom always told me to wear sunblock, but I guess I never knew the whole reason why.

 tonyswhirl ;I like the aluminum foil benie site.

Voltageman; I know we have done some joking in this topic.But to get serious & political.I think if a poll was done most members would be against the so called Patriot Act.It violates the Constitution like few laws have .I agree to stay free we need to take the risk of terrorism.Think how many American soldiers that have died for that freedom .What if they had said "It's not safe to go to war instead we need the government to take away our freedom & protect us"
What do you expect from Bush who was Illegally appointed President the first time by the Supreme Court.If not for this he wouldn't have won a second election.I recently watched a special on Bush & the Florida election.It said that several black people were listed as felons on the election rolls so they weren't allowed to vote about 95% of these were not felons this amounted to about 60000 eligable voters not allowed to vote & about another 95000 ballots of black voters were thrown out.Usually the black vote is Democratic.For all these votes not allowed is criminal especially when Bush supposedly won by 504 votes.These don't even take into account those votes with the so called dangling chads.So with a crooked President why should the fact he had the Patriot act drawn up to take away our rights be a suprise.
