How is this NOT a lie detector?

This would definitely be useful when interrogating someone right?

Yes. It's a "mind reader" and it would be granted blind trust/authority by whoever relies on it like all other technology ("but NEAT says you want to kill yourself, Jerry."). I view this as a weapon, not a benevolent tool for helping veterans.
