Comment I'm My Own Worst Enemy Sometimes (Score 1) 342
I wouldn't do well with this at all. If I knew that a fear detector was being used, I would start to be afraid that I might be afraid of it and that fear would grow into a panic that I might be sufficiently afraid to set the thing off, which would be scary because then I'd start imagining my interrogation at the hands of jackbooted DHS thugs with their enormous attack rottweilers and their hideous cattle prods. The image of rottweilers using cattle prods on me would be too much for me to bear and I'd just set off the fear detector, which would be a relief because then the suspense would finally be over and then the interrogation could begin in earnest.
