Who the hell opts in to that?

Oh, they don't have anything to hide, do they?
Before scrolling down I knew the UK would be involved somehow. They must do anything except admit that their continous meddling (to put it mildly) in the middle east incites retaliation.

- Accacin 7y agoThat's not entirely fair, it's in the UK it's a "EU research program has pumped some 4.5 million euros into the project, which is being managed by a consortium of 13 partners, including Greece’s Center for Security Studies, Germany’s Leibniz University Hannover, and technology and security companies like Hungary’s BioSec, Spain’s Everis, and Poland’s JAS."
- switch007 7y agoI didn't say the UK was exclusively involved, did I? > IBorderCtrl’s lie detection system was developed in England by researchers at Manchester Metropolitan University I.e. the system which is the subject of the article?
