===Hand-held lie detector for US military===
A hand-held lie detector is being deployed by the US Department of Defense according to a report in 2008 by investigative reporter [[Bill Dedman]] of [[NBC News]]. The Preliminary Credibility Assessment Screening System, or PCASS, captures less physiological information than a polygraph, and uses an algorithm, not the judgment of a polygraph examiner, to render a decision whether it believes the person is being deceptive or not. The device was first used in Afghanistan by US Army troops. The Department of Defense ordered its use be limited to non-US persons, in overseas locations only.<ref>{{cite web|first=Bill|last=Dedman|date=April 9, 2008|title=New anti-terror weapon: Hand-held lie detector|publisher=[[NBC News]]|url=https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna23926278|access-date=May 12, 2025}}</ref>
