A lie detector small enough to fit in the eyeglasses of law enforcement officers can tell whether a passenger is a terrorist by analyzing his answer to questions in real time.

A signal-processing engine, said to use more than 8,000 algorithms each time it analyzes an incoming voice waveform, detects levels of various emotional states simultaneously from the pitch and speed of the voice and measures 18 parameters of speech in real time.
