Pattern Recogntion (Security scanning for lying/blushing)

Brief description

"They hadn`t had much to say to each other, on the train to Narita. She`d slept in the lounge, after security measures including a sort of CAT scan for their shows and answering questions in front of an infrared device that registered minute changes in the temperature of the skin around the eyes, the theory being that lying about having packed one`s own bag induced a sort of invisible and inevitable micro-blush. Though the Japanese also believed that personality is determined by blood type, or had when she was last here. Boone had been impressed, though, and had told her to expect blush machine soon in America." p.172.
