Why do I suddenly want to know the Pentagon's books out of its hands and give it a wedgie?

Funny, I though that this was just a Sci-Fi short story in the MIT Tech Review.

You know, shortly after 9/11, I remember reading an article about a company or gov't agency (can't remember which) which had come up with a stress/lie detector that could fit in a pair of sunglasses and not be noticed. Apparently, the group that invented it really wanted to push the TSA to use it. Of course, I highly doubt it'd be accurate enough to be useful, and everyone's stressed at the airport, so there'd be so many false positives.
