How does micro expressions and Neuro-Linguistic Programming help in detecting if a person is lying?

The following information were obtained from an officer at a checkpoint, who wished to remain anonymous. The officer, who was nicknamed the Master Profiler by his/her peers, using the following methods,had conducted countless profiling and had detected many cases on smuggling, money laundering, impersonation by identity, fake passports and many more. His current success rate is currently 90%.

Here is the officer’s sharing;

Profiling techniques used on arriving passengers at airports involve a combination of observational and automated methods. These techniques are used to identify potential threats and reduce security risks.

Observational techniques involve trained personnel observing passenger behaviour, body language, and other indicators of potential threats. These techniques can include observing how a passenger is dressed, how they interact with others, and whether they appear nervous or agitated.

Automated techniques involve the use of technology such as facial recognition software, biometric scanners, and metal detectors. These technologies can be used to identify passengers with a higher risk profile, such as those on watchlists, and to detect weapons and other prohibited items.

In addition to these techniques, some airports also use random searches and interviews to further screen passengers. These techniques involve randomly selecting passengers for searches, as well as questioning them about their travel plans.

Micro expressions and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) are two tools that can be used to detect if a person is lying, although they approach the task from different perspectives.

Micro expressions, as discussed earlier, are very brief facial expressions that reveal a person’s true emotions. They are involuntary and difficult to control, making them a useful tool for detecting lies. By observing a person’s micro expressions, it may be possible to detect inconsistencies between what they are saying and what they are actually feeling.

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), on the other hand, is a set of techniques and principles that can be used to communicate more effectively and to understand the connections between a person’s thoughts, emotions, and behaviour. NLP practitioners believe that people give off subtle cues through their language and nonverbal communication that can reveal their true intentions and feelings.

In the context of detecting lies, NLP techniques can be used to analyse a person’s language patterns, tone of voice, and other nonverbal cues, such as body language and eye movements. For example, someone who is lying may avoid eye contact, use vague language, or speak in a monotone voice. By analysing these cues, an NLP practitioner may be able to identify inconsistencies and detect when a person is lying.

Both micro expressions and NLP can be effective tools for detecting lies, although they require skill and practice to use effectively. It is important to note, however, that neither technique is foolproof, and other factors, such as context and evidence, should also be considered when assessing whether someone is lying or telling the truth.
